Hey Alex, I use NetNewsWire for Mac but I’ve heard lots of praise for Google’s new version of Reader. I’ll have to try it out sometime.

I use Sage, which I guess is a Firefox plug-in, so it’s not web-based (oh man, am I using my techie lingo right?) But I like it because it is integrated into my browser, so I don’t even need to be at a certain page to use it. I am always at the same computer, though, so it works for me.

I have friends who visit each and every URL in their “blogs” bookmarks folder (well, “Favorites” folder, probably) every day. It boggles my mind … I mean, blogs without RSS feeds? No way could I keep up on that. I’m so glad I have techie family to keep me up on this stuff and teach me about RSS.

And is techie with an -ie or a -y? Hmmm.

You’re right, that trends page is pretty cool. I hadn’t even noticed it before you posted this comment, but since I’ve been obsessed with weird statistics like that ever since I started collecting baseball cards as a kid, I find it quite interesting.

Another thing I’ve come to like in all my Google apps is the keyboard shortcuts. They’re perfect in Google Calendar, and I find myself using them more and more all the time in Gmail and Google Reader.

Google Reader all the way. Ironically enough, I hated when Google deployed the new version of Reader. But that was me just not willing to change. I am now a strong convert to the new Reader. I really like looking at the Trends page. Apparently I have read 2,841 items in the last 30 days with Tuesday being the busiest day and Sunday being the slowest.
