I switch between multiple computers -- it lets me goof off just about anywhere. :) I don't care for their Beta though. I just stick with the regular version.

Bloglines loads its feeds much faster, and it's much easier to use. I’ve tried Google Reader twice and switched it off both times. Bloglines loads its feeds much faster, and it’s much easier to use.

I have over 200 feeds now and I find Google Reader works great, especially in tagging, managing feeds and searching through feeds. I read a lot of blogs related to my work and I need to be able to find that blog that I read about months ago related to a certain topic to look into the details of it closer and Google Reader I find works great for that and keeps getting better.

In my experience, Google Reader is awesome... I'm currently following 1065 feeds, which are easy to organize and prioritize in folders. Also, it is accessible from any computer with an internet connection. One really nice organizational feature is you can make tagged items into a new rss feed by designating a tag public, which is then easy to cut and paste onto a blog (especially if you have Dreamweaver). With a little editing, this is how I create the "interesting links" posts on my blog (stwallskull.com). It makes this sort of thing extremely fast and efficient... obviously it would be easy to edit commentary in as well, if you were inclined. Being Google, I'm sure there are more than likely privacy issues, though, which is good to be aware of. Also note that the subscribe button you can grab for your browser from the goodies page is tremendous time saver. Hope that helps!

I think Safari does a pretty good job with feeds, you just need to bookmark them. Does your browser support RSS? I think Safari does a pretty good job with feeds, you just need to bookmark them.

AND won't automatically refresh. Taken as a whole is sort of defeats the purpose of an RSS feed.

I bailed on NetNewsWire Pro because it took so damn long to load. I've been using the Flock Browser and it's built-in RSS and I'm very happy with it. Of course, some people like Bloglines.
