bloglines vs. google reader....so far

While it is by no means a make-or-break difference, there are feed bundles in Google Reader --collections of blogs/feeds within subject categories-- in manageable sizes of 5-9 subscriptions. Bloglines provides the Top 1000 which is interesting and contains a broad selection of possible subscriptions, but the potential subscriber must either preview and/or guess the subject content from the title/name.

In Bloglines I am able to adjust the width of the navigation/left pane for more space on the right for posts; in Google Reader the page layout seems fixed.

In Bloglines the edit and subscribe buttons are marginally easier to find; in Google Reader the edit/unsubscribe is in a pull down menu.
