Try Google Reader, you will love the simplicity and elegance of it.

I got hit with only a partial loss, but it was still pretty annoying. On the plus side, it did give me the momentum I needed to start paring down the long list of blogs I supposedly read (intend to read one magical day would be a better description).

I’m sticking with bloglines because I’ve been using it as a historical archive as much as anything else and I don’t know yet how I’d get the info stored there out.

I’ve been around the block with a bunch of readers. Radio Userland back in the day, then Bloglines, then Newsgator. I tried Google Reader shortly after it came out and I haven’t looked back. I’d recommend it unhesitatingly.

I was using Bloglines for over a year, but issues with unsolved security bugs made me look around, and I ended up with Newsgator Online. I pay a small yearly fee and also get a desktop aggregator (FeedDemon), podcast downloader, and mobile access on my Treo (NGO Mobile). It started out being a bit slower than Bloglines, but I’ve go no complaints about the speed now. I was able to export my subs from BL as a OPML file and import into NGO,.

“I haven’t tried Google Reader, but I’m inching closer to giving it a go.”

I’m currently trying Google reader, and so far it seems to be going well. Although it lacks some of the features of desktop readers, it does not require much memory or cpu resources, and has a responsive Ajax GUI. So it may be a good alternative.

That’s the reason I left bloglines as well. I used to think it was great, and then I gave up on it after it lost my read state of all of my sites. The first time annoyed me, the second time was enough. I switched to NetNewsWire on the Mac synced with NewsGator, and lo and behold, it still happens occasionally.

I haven’t tried Google Reader, but I’m inching closer to giving it a go.
