Yesterday, I decided it would be a good day to move away from Bloglines and start using Google Reader. This move was entirely superficial, and wasn't prompted by any sort of problem I was having with Bloglines. I'm just a big Google nerd, and I wanted to start using their feed reader instead of somebody else's. Google Reader didn't score too well in my ratings from long ago, but the Google people have been improving their product steadily over time, and none of the initial problems I had with it are still evident. It's slightly different from Bloglines, so it takes a little getting used to, but I think I'm making the move permanent. One added benefit is that Google Reader mobile is infinitely better than Bloglines mobile. It uses keyboard shortcuts and just seems to be a simpler product. Bloglines mobile tries to fit all the features of regular Bloglines into a mobile product, and it just makes things bulky and slow. That's hardly a reason to switch, but it's worth mentioning. #technology
