Yeah, it takes a bit to get used to the fact that now all your daily reads are in one spot instead of all over the place.... but once you're used to it, it's a VERY upsetting thing to find out that a site you want to read doesn't have a feed (not that it happens much anymore, but occasionally some blogger user who doesn't know any better sets their feed settings not to have one). I like the fact that most of the time, I can blow through everything I read in about 15 minutes instead of taking 3 hours. The only two things I don't really like about it are the fact that since you're not going to the site of origin, you can't always follow comment discussions easily (since most places don't offer "notify me of followup comments", which reminds me I need to re-add that to my site because I forgot to when I changed themes) and also, if you've got a feed that is updated often, sometimes it makes reading the feeds a pain because that one source just seems to take over.... And that's interesting about the new washer/dryer. I love Google Reader.

The dryer door is reversible but the washing machine's is not, which is annoying because that is the door I'd want to rearrange. Also, are you going to share any feeds with me? One of the interesting things about the google reader is that you can tag items you read to share. This way other people (me) can see what you find interesting. Less sending random IMs. I told you about the doors! The dryer door is reversible but the washing machine’s is not, which is annoying because that is the door I’d want to rearrange.
