Back at the beginning of October, I blogged about switching from bloglines to Google’s Reader. Well, its mid-December now, and I must say that I could not be happier with Reader. This baby still rocks!
The big reason why I left bloglines was that it showed me how far backlogged I was… it was depressing me. At least I thought that was the problem. I had dropped down to under 20 feeds while on bloglines, and was feeling ok; not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed… just right. Then I moved to Reader and immediately pulled in my old OPML file from bloglines. I immediately pared it down to under 100, but have been slowly climbing since then. I am now right around 140. I am trying to be more select in what I put in my blogroll, but there is jsut too much f-in good content out there!
I only have one gripe for Reader, which also is a problem with Gmail, and it is probably due to Google’s Personalized homepage: there are no management functions on the individual item views provided when clicking on an email or feed post from my homepage. For Reader, I would love to be able to share the item from there. For Gmail, Delete, Archive, MARK AS SPAM (please, if there is a God!), and Label would all be nice, and are suprisingly absent.
By the way, if you would like to see what I share from Reader, here is the feed 
, or if you would prefer to look at them on a web page (for some strang reason) you can look here.
