To be honest, I was not a big fan of Google reader, supporting bloglines.com for its simplicity, its speed and also its neutrality (who said that Google was evil? ;))

Unfortunately, during one whole weekend, bloglines.com was down... No communication, no apologize even after everything was fixed. I know that they offer stuff for free and we can’t expect same level of quality than a paid service but we are still users and we still need consideration :)

Also, if you take a look at their beta site, you notice that they tend toward cloning Google reader, moving away from their original frame of mind.

So me and my opml file went to google reader, sit down, took a beer and finally, that’s not so bad. Features are roughly the same (G-Reader is missing a keyboard shortcut to navigate through folders). I specially like the reports offered by G-Reader: with the feed activity report, I could trashing tons of rss that have not been updated for years!

Here's my activity for the last 30 days, proof that I really need holidays :)
