However, Bloglines allows me to share all my feeds with anyone simply by giving them the URL of my public account. This way of sharing is missing in iGoogle. The sharing seems to be more restricted.

I use it at home and work, so web-based is the way to go, for me. I think if I used something that was integrated with my email, I'd just get distracted. I prefer to have to make a conscious choice to click to the feed reader. (I only have one gripe with it -- when I right-click a feed and choose "Mark All As Read," I actually have to do that *twice* for it to work. I just work around this by left-clicking the feed name (which displays the list of posts) and then choosing "Mark All As Read".) I’ve been using NewsGator Online for quite a while now.

Tried Rojo, Google Reader, but came back to Bloglines, like the prodigal son. From Lifehacker's posts it seems like there's a lot you can do with Google Reader if you're on Firefox. I'm not--I use Opera and find that Bloglines works best with Opera. None of that fancy-shmancy Web 2.0 stuff which isn't the best for my not-so-fast Internet connection. Bloglines could do with a few improvements to make life easier though. I’m a Bloglines user myself. Tried Rojo, Google Reader, but came back to Bloglines, like the prodigal son.

I like the Greasemonkey hack that allows me to use Google Reader in Gmail. Very nice!! I also like to see my feeds on my iGoogle accounts. Nice, too. However, all of this being said, I still prefer the desktop app Omea Pro ( http://www.jetbrains.com/omea/ ). It's FANTASTIC!! So many useful features, much better than either Google Reader or Bloglines. For online, Google Reader and Bloglines win (well, at least I use them).

I'll admit it: I've only started to read feeds consistently since Google Reader. But the reading experience took a greater ease when I installed Better Gmail application, available as an add-on via Firefox. I've only checked the Gmail+GReader option and now am reading email, G Talking, and reading feeds all from the same window. Sometimes, updates are not instant - I know from checking if feeds from my own blog have updated. Typically, I'll select 'All items,' scroll down to the last high-lighted feed and scan thru using the K key. That's all I use, unless I want to go forward - J key. If I like a post and want to read further - meaning I may write about it on my blog - I'll star it and come back to it later.
