me doing good.. thanks to the RDBMS training :)

checked out Bloglines… it sure is simpler… but it doesnt show a brief description of the feed… Google reader tends to show a lot of the text on the reader itself.. i think Google wins there…

Its simple, and easy to use. The problem with google user is, it needs too many clicks!. Now, this matters since I subscribe to around 120 feeds, and I read quite a lot. I would like to get rid (or in other words, mark many items as 'read') of items that are of not intrest to me at the moment. I would also like to read all the news items of a given feed without any randomness. I somehow found google reader to be too random, and I have no way to mark items as 'read' unless I actually select/click. Too much of clicks.............. I would suggest both of you to give bloglines a try!... @ Venu & @Vishal : I think you have to use Bloglines for a couple of hours! Its simple, and easy to use.

You taught RDBMS to our training batch in mysore in aug 04. I am from MIT too.. But why did u say Google Reader is user unfriendly? I use Google reader on a daily basis and find it to be the most intuitive way to read feeds. Hi Arjun,

If you get used to the shortcut keys (n,j,v etc) in google reader, its much easier to use it, and it feels a lot more powerful. I felt that google reader is pretty good.
