Google reader is a RSS feed aggregator, google style. That means it's AJAX, the UI is rather gmailish. Intuitive to use, easily integrated with Firefox and highly addictive. You can star messages, tag feeds into folders, share messages or tags, import lists of feeds, cool stuff. And best of all, I don't have to visit slashdot, root.cz, lwn, kerneltrap, comixes, blogs, etc. every day.
Well, second best. I forgot about it automatically showing a play button (flash) for any podcasts, great way to listen to BBC.
The UI for advanced stuff like maximizing the messages part of window is rather keyboard-centric ('u') but there is a greasemonkey script that adds a mouse button too if you prefer that. And this maximization is extremely useful for viewing wide webcomicses on a 1024x768 display.
Now if I can only find a way to integrate gdeskcal with Google calendar.
