While I wasn't a total convert on the subject of twitter --in fact, I described it in pretty disparaging terms for the first few days-- but through some use and considering some of the comments in other class blogs, I am starting to appreciate its purpose, seeing what I once perceived to be limitations or inherent flaws as a potential strength or value.
I am completely sold on Bloglines however and am seeing and taking advantage of feed icons on all my favorite sites. It's saving me a huge amount of time, rather than trying to work my way through a list of sites to check on blog postings/updates both personal and academic, civil service exam announcements, irreverence and the occasionally profound from a wide and unusual collection of sources - it's one click anytime, anywhere with 30 seconds free. Way cool.
Google Reader is merely OK, but I think the real issue is that I set it up for comparison and have spent most of this week reading and adding at Bloglines. It's not one more than the other, it's the familiarity of Bloglines and not having to think about how it works or how to make changes - it just does/I do.

Laura, like you, I am completely sold on Bloglines. I loved it from the first time I tried it out, and was dazzled by the fact that it recommended blogs to me in categories of interest! Again, like you I have found some blogs I like and subscribed to them right along with our classmates' blogs. And I, too, am still rather ambivalent about Google Reader.
