Points of (dis)Interest

1. I have moved most of my non-personal RSS feeds over to Google Reader so things like Neil Gaiman's blog and the VG Cats comic are no longer cluttering up my friends page. More significantly, I'm experimenting with reading scans_daily and ihasatardis that way too. This means I am more likely to read any given LJ post, as the noise-to-signal ratio has dropped sharply. We apologise for any inconwenience.
2. WE HAS A TUMBLE DRIER
3. That is all.

Being able to keep up with your feeds from any machine you happen to be on. Pretty good tagging and filtering facilities. One of the slickest Web 2.0 application implementations I've seen so far ;-)

Anywhere I can read Google, I can read Livejournal (unless someone's blacklisted one or the other) but the other two reasons are good ones. I'll have a look.

Being able to mark stuff as read is a pretty big plus. It means you can run though looking at a particular set of stuff and then when you go back and look at EVERYTHING, you're not seeing the same stuff again.

I used to use LJ for RSS, then I used Sage in Fx, but for all the reasons given here Google Reader is the best solution. And more private than LJ too.

Plus, Google Reader is very good on the iPod touch/iPhone and probably other mobile devices.
