I’ve switched from bloglines to google reader
I didn’t think I’d do it, but I have ditched Bloglines for Reader. Ditched is a little strong–I can go back at any time with very little trouble.
We all have our own individual preferences when it comes to feed readers. I have been using Bloglines for years, and have found it to be a mostly enjoyable experience. I loved the iPhone support that they came out with right away.
Then Reader just kept getting better. And the recently released iPhone support is better than Bloglines. The interface is much better and I can get 20 stories on one iPhone page, which leads to much faster browsing through my list.
Thanks for the years of service, Bloglines! Who knows, I may be back to using you at some point…

Hey Steve. Yeah, Google Reader is pretty sweet. I keep trying to migrate from Newsgator (syncing with FeedDemon) to Google Reader, but I get stopped with reader’s lack of support for secure feeds. If they supported that, I’d switch. Until then, I am using FeedDemon on my PC, which syncs with my Newsgator account in case I ever want to use a web interface. Their web interface is just average, though. They do have a good mobile version, which I’ve been using on my Blackberry for a couple years now.
FeedDemon is WAY better than any web interface too, but that’s just my opinion.
Google’s issue is their lack of support for secure feeds.
