So when it stopped updating feeds this past Wednesday and their forums were down again, I decided to scope out some different readers. I found the following list somewhere:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/my.aol.com\/\">AOL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/ig\">Google<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/my.live.com\/\">Live<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.netvibes.com\/\">Netvibes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsgator.com\/\">NewsGator<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/my.yahoo.com\/\">Yahoo!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I heard some good things about NewsGator in the Bloglines forums some time back when Bloglines first started having problems. They mentioned it was quite easy to switch and that I can just export my feeds from Bloglines as an OPML file and import them into NewsGator. I gave that a shot and it worked fine. So the past few days, I&#8217;ve been playing with NewsGator and there are quite a few things I miss from Bloglines.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest pet peeve of NewsGator is that it&#8217;s extremely slow and unresponsive. It takes like 5-10 seconds to load a folder, while it was extremely fast and snappy in Bloglines. Another feature that Bloglines has are keyboard shortcuts. After a few days of using NewsGator, I have to say I&#8217;m not a satisfied customer.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing good about NewsGator is that it updates the feeds a lot more frequently than Bloglines. Things may take up to half a day to show up on Bloglines, but new posts generally show up within the hour on Newsgator.<\/p>\n<p>They also have a client version, but I would rather not have to install an RSS aggregator client on all the machines I use.<\/p>\n<p>I know a few friends who use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/\u200breader\">Google Reader<\/a>. Maybe I&#8217;ll give that a try. What do you guys suggest?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been using Bloglines for the past year or so as my rss aggregator, but recently it&#8217;s been a lot flakier than usual.
