I have been using Netvibes as my news reader for some time now, but lately I have been gravitating toward google reader. Once I began reading several blogs, Netvibes became too overwhelming to manage all of them. The user interface for Google Reader is intuitive (like most of Google’s products) and really makes it easy to follow several rss feeds.
Statistics are a feature of Google Reader that I didn’t know I wanted. It provides trends that tell you many articles you have read and which blogs or news sites that you most often read. It’s another way for me to see exactly how much time I am spending on reading articles and getting my news fix.
The feature that did it for me was when I began reading my google reader on my Samsung Blackjack. The web page gave me a number next to each article so that I could just touch the number and begin reading the article. They made it very quick and easy to read articles on a mobile device.
