Why should I waste my time writing how Google Reader is by far the best feed reader in town when there are so many clever posts around?
So, big story short, here's my top 5 links (some stuff may overlap etc):
1) Getting good with Google Reader [lifehacker]
My personal favorite how-to on GReader. Here you can find all the basics, from keyboard shortcuts (heck, don't even try to use to tags, to shortcuts.
2) How to add search to Google Reader [The Google OS]
Useful to search through your feeds (Google folks, let's face it: it's just unconceivable that GReader has no integrated search!!!), if you wanna go hardcore you can also integrate it on the main page, though I'm not sure how it's going to cope with...
3) The OS X-like skin for Google Reader [Hicksdesign via Lifehacker]
Being a Mac user I'm design driven by definition, so this is a must have in my opinion.
4) 10 Smart Hacks for Google Reader [Lifehack.org]
This is mostly interesting for the nice idea of setting priorities your feeds (like must read or can be skipped)
5) there's no five.
I could bother you with stuff about link blogs or navigating through your feeds with your Nintendo Wii but I guess that's much too esoteric stuff (and it's just a google search away), so have fun with GReader! :-)

[Bonus video 2: for the very basic cavemen out there, here's a video answering your question "what is an RSS"? (no, seriously. If you've come this far into the post without even knowing what an RSS is you should really see some kind of specialist)]
