Why I’m Liking Google Reader Better Than Bloglines

Tuesday, 24 July 2007 Clay Burell Print This Post

Google Reader keeps formatting – italics, picture resizing, etc. Bloglines doesn’t. I work on those italics, blast it. (And Bloglines readers, that “work” was italicized.)

Why I don’t like any reader I know of right now:

They don’t include comments (I know you can subscribe to comments, but it ain’t the same).
Readers miss coComments and other side-bar widgets. It’s like entertaining guests without furniture.

Anybody know any readers that show the whole blog, not just the post, in its window? Please drop a comment!

No web-based reader allows you to read or make comment. However, few desktop readers (like GreatNews) let you track comments. No reader has comment-making capabilities though, since it’s almost impossible without a standard API across all sites.

You should check out this reader though: http://www.spokeo.com It tracks your friends on social networks, just like you tracking feeds on RSS readers. You’ll find it useful.
