wow, just the title of this got me so excited I almost uninstalled feedreader...then I realized it was a web based reader. I think web based readers are the most pointless thing I have ever seen...if you're going to bring up a website, just make it digg.com.Note: Before I submitted this I clicked "check spelling" at which point it said I misspelled digg.
Bloglines is straightforward and it is easy to keep track of things. With this i'm lost, it's hard to find the news I want (not that hard just too clunky).The news is what is important, I really prefer bloglines layout because I can see the articles and navigate them at the same time. With this I always have to scroll down.I think google could have done much much better by basically tweaking the gmail layout, starring etc.This is not very well designed or useable, I expected more from google.
I haven't had any problems importing OPML, and I'm not really noticing that it's outstandingly slow. I like it better than Bloglines because it sorts everything newest first, regardless of the source (true aggregation), whereas Bloglines keeps everything sectioned off by source.All we need now is a greasemonkey script to simplify adding new feeds!I'm diggin it.
I started using google.com/reader yesterday, I put in Digg, CNN, & NYT. When I use the blogthis feature, I noticed that the links are getting put in wrong, but if I close the blog window and try again it works fine...I guess there are still some bugs but, other than that it does look good... I haven't heard of bloglines, so I'm going to check that out since many have said they like it.

This is what happens when a google employee stays at his computer during lunch.
