Why I’m Liking Google Reader Better Than Bloglines

with one commentPrint This Post 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:

  1. They don’t include comments (I know you can subscribe to comments, but it ain’t the same).
  2. 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!

If you like this post, please spread it: bookmark bookmark bookmark bookmark (But don't tag it "education." That will bury it.)

  1. Hello, Google Reader...
  2. A Pox on Bloglines…and Google Reader...
  3. Bravo for Bloglines Beta: Finally an RSS Reader with Comments!...

  1. 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.
