My feeds window with saber at my side.In a previous post, I was describing the benefits and use of Brief as a feed reader. Now I want to share with you my experiences with Google feed reader.
Although Brief is very good when you have firefox browser and only use a standalone computer (I mean one PC in only one location), Google feed reader solution gaves you more flexibility in the following situations
* You are constantly changing computers and want a movible feed reader without the need of installing the software every time.
* You are connected to the internet "almost" all the time.
* You use different internet browsers (or dont use Firefox at all) and/or cant install brief pluggin.
* You are a restricted user and cant install anything.
So, now I am in constant use of Google feed reader. I check my favorite feeds right after I check my mail. My only negative opinion is that I think there isnt an easy way to manage the feeds (I havent found a nice way to do it - If you know tell me), like for example to subscribe easyly.
By the moment, Im suscribed to 47 feeds (dont hesitate to ask me to add your site) and I hope this humble blog to be part of your current subscriptions.

I now have something like over 180 feeds, considering both active and inactive that is. :(
But yes, Google Reader is way more flexible for such situations that you mention. I far prefer FeedReader but then again I use it for home use only.
i am reading this post on google reader as we speak. it certainly saves me a lot of time instead of going to the blog itself and found that there's no new posts.
Jesus...47 feeds? How do you get through them all? o.O
@Panther: I have some inactive feeds aswell, but they are only a few.
@Gordon: I remember the days before google reader.
@Snark: You better ask Panther. He has 180 feeds and I dont know how he does.
