Ever since the start of the redesign of Bloglines Beta, there’s been a lot of talk comparing it to Google Reader. (They’re actually always being compared, but more so this week.) I created a brief screencast just the other day showing off Bloglines Beta and of course they’ve just added some new features. You can now pin items that you’d like to come back to and read later, email posts to friends, and they’ve got the first list of hotkeys up. Bloglines Beta isn’t the only kid in town with new shoes on though – Google Reader has finally added a search box! So, with all the talk about who’s better and why, I decided to just compare the two side by side and let you be the judge. Here’s my screencast battle of Bloglines vs. Google Reader:

  2. Thanks Eric. Btw…I think screenshots are sucky – real sucky ;) . I still love Bloglines though!

  3. Nice demo. Been meaning to check these out – and wanted to see how other peeps use it – and pros/cons of each.

  4. You just saved me 30 minutes, thx!
