This one’s a question for you hundreds and hundreds 
of readers: which RSS aggregator do you prefer? And why?
I’ve been using Bloglines for a while, and I’m perfectly satisfied with it; however, even in situations like this, I always like to look for alternatives. However, among the few I’ve tried, no one has made me consider “dumping” Bloglines. Not that I want to - I simply can’t believe that the very first aggregator I’ve tried was the best.
Google Reader may have potential, but, unlike most of Google’s products, this one really deserves the “beta” label - it’s simply not “there” yet.
So, which one (or ones) do you use?
Again, I’m not dissatisfied with Bloglines; I just want to get to know the alternatives better.

Competition is needed. Bloglines isn’t innovating nor introducing new features for a while now.
They even haven’t introduced support for Atom 1.0. In this item Google Reader wins.
I personally use SharpReader. It’s nice and has a very uncluttered, streamlined appearence. Very simple to use!
I’ve been on the hunt for an rss reader, and i didn’t set out to find an online solution only.. i was open to both online and offline. A couple of weeks ago, after trying and dismissing Google Desktop, i came across Searchfox. It’s still in beta, but you can request a beta tester account.
I like it due to its simplicity and speed. It’s way faster than bloglines, visually more appealing and i like the ajax-y bits. Not overdone, but straight to the point. They also analyse the feeds you read and make suggestions of new feeds that might interest, though the engine is being perfected.
So if i had to recommend any, it would be SearchFox. Although, i bet feedlounge will kick the competitions butt in no time. We just have to wait untill they launch.

I’ve been using Sharp Reader, but I’m checking out Google Reader now. Some people don’t like it, but I do so far.
