Bloglines vs. Google Reader

Jan 06, 2007

I’ve been using Bloglines as my RSS feeds reader for around a month now and I really like it. Recently I read on various blogs that the Google Reader is far better so I decided to use it today. Didn’t find it very impressive and I don’t why it is so hyped. Stats? I’m not worried about stats, my main concern is usability and I think I find Bloglines far better. I mean, why do I need stats to know what I read and what I don’t; I can make that out without fancy graphs and number crunchers.

Right now I have…let me check…135 feeds and I know what feeds I’m not reading frequently or am not even clicking them even once a week. Anyway, this is not the point. It actually depends on your preference, and I just wanted to say that Bloglines is better than the Google Reader. Apart from that, my browser has a button that lets me add a feed to Bloglines straightaway. I’m back to Bloglines.

I’ve migrated from Google Reader to Newsgator. It seems to be more stable. Maybe that is why Reader is in labs. Their AJAXing doesn’t work very well
