I’ve been using Bloglines for a long time, but as of yesterday I switched to Google Reader (thanks to a tip from my friend Moqub). Both are web-based RSS feed readers, and they do mainly the same thing, but still I like Google Reader better. Here’s a short comparison as to the why:

• Google Reader integrates with my Gmail account and other Google personalised settings
• I really like Google’s active “read” marking. As you scroll through a feed’s posts, the posts you “pass” are automatically marked as read (can be disabled)
• Adding, managing and sorting feeds is easier on Google (I always found Bloglines’ interface somewhat clunky)
• I like the overview page you get with Google Reader, showing you a selection of your new unread posts

Yeah. Google wins another one.
