bloglines vs. googlereader redux

just a quick note and observation...
I went to my googlereader page completely by accident and realized that with a number of subscriptions and only checking on the page periodically, googlereader is actually easier to skim and use than bloglines. Because my bloglines account is open in a separate tab for about 15 hours per day, I read things as they come in or at least within a few hours, but for occasional or even just once per day use (and presumably with a life less dominated by a computer screen), I think I'd switch my aggregator to google. I really did not understand what seemed like the overwhelming preference for googlereader until I saw the way multiple subscriptions and ten days accumulation of posts displayed. For anyone else who thought they preferred bloglines, go take a look at your googlereader page.

I couldn't agree more! I've been a google reader fan for about a year now and bloglines just doesn't do it for me. :)
