Blogline vs. Google Reader

This week's task (ok, I'm a little behind...it's the task from 3 weeks ago) is to open a bloglines account and add some feeds to follow. I already had a Google reader account, but I figured I would go ahead and try out bloglines...and I hate it. Google's reader was so much easier to understand and set up. It may just be because I started out on it, but bloglines actually gave me a headache as I tried to figure it out!

However, I love RSS. It has made my life so much easier. There are many blogs that I love to follow. It was such a pain to have to go to everyone and then wade through the ads. But once I set up a feeder it was great, they all came to me. And then google reader suggested blogs I might like based on the ones I was already following...and it was right, I do like those blogs. So now I have added even more blogs to follow. I think I may have an addiction!

It's amazing that topics you can find feeds for. I personally have added many decorating blogs. This is a great tool to use in my personal life. I get new ideas everyday for decorating my home, I love it.

Just like u,I've these two readers,first is bloglines when I started using feed reader and later is google reader as we all know.I've to say although I use greader much more often (actually it's my primary reader) I still like bloglines.Many people are likely to misunderstand bloglines's feature.If u look up the help counter about these and put them in use,u will like bloglines.But now greader does a nearly perfect work in networking and sharing,so I go away from bloglines.And finally,I use greader almost everyday and there's one thing I hate most -- u can't manage ur tags!It's the problem google team admit they haven't found a solution until now.
