I am moving to an online reader and was checking out Google Reader which does not have the 3-Pane View I am used to. I am so now in love with the new Bloglines. Thanks for this review.

As good as GR is, there is a huge amount of room for improvement in these web-based feed readers and competition should help us get there faster.

I’m really glad that Bloglines stepped up their game just for that reason. Google Reader is still better in my opinion, but Bloglines inching so close is going to force Google to add some innovation to their feed reader.

Does Bloglines allow you to search within your own feeds? The only feature Google Reader is missing, quite surprised its missing too, but I really miss being able to do it.

Yes, it does let you perform searches.

Ive been a regular user of Rojo. But i think i will switch back to bloglines. The preview seems excellent.

I’m very impressed by the new Bloglines. And being a Google Reader user, I’m very tempted to switch.

However, at this point, I think Google Reader still has the edge. I like being able to instantly GMail an article to someone, and saving articles is a must…something the new Bloglines doesn’t yet have.

But Bloglines is back in the game, in my opinion.
