| Its a nice litte addition for Google. I like simplicity of the page. I think it could be improved substantially, but its only in Beta, and still in the Google Lab, so there is still a lot of time. Would be good to see it integrate into the Personalised homepage, but lets see what the future holds. |

| Not a fan of the new Google Reader. I prefer to use two other Google services to read my feeds: Gmail and the Personalized Home (I use rssfwd.com to have feeds emailed to me, but I know there are others). I thought that GReader might be a great way for me to browse feeds of interest that I don't regularly read. Unfortunately it lacks the speed/manageability of numerous other aggregators, and the layout is somewhat constricted. |

It seems like every Feedreader I've recently used lets me easily play podcasts by clicking a link to the MP3 file. It is neat that I can handle text and audio feeds together. And by the way, I've stopped using Opera's feedreader and started using SharpReader. I like it because I can manually refresh feeds as frequently as I want. Google Reader neither let's you do that nor let you set the refresh rate. I still don't know how often Google Reader checks for new feeds. That, for me, defeats a big part of the purpose of RSS feeds. I want new content as it is published, not what might be hours after. |
