Tongue Ring Too Short?

RSS reader: Netvibes Google Reader

For several weeks now, I switched to read the entire feed on my son Google Reader . In fact, I looked above the stream via Netvibes , but it is clear that after a number of son (+ 100, and increasing daily), the viewing mode Netvibes suited me more (too laborious have to position each wire into a tab, unable to score some interesting articles to come back later, navigation impractical, too much manipulation to read an article, etc. ...).

To return to Google Reader, it gives me comfort that I need to quickly look up my favorite sources of information: label / folder to classify son by subject, displaying in one page of all the new articles, marking the favorite items, simple navigation and keyboard shortcuts quickly addictive. I also like the stats on the different son: those that you read the most, those who are most frequently updated, those who lag behind in publication, etc. ... All this is quite handy to sort through your readings.

Obviously, everything is (or was) not perfect in the beautiful world of Google Reader. But there are solutions to everything. By example, video Embedded (embedded in the articles) from YouTube and Google Video, among others, were thus not visible in the player directly. Luckily now possible (since the end of January). De même, certaines fonctionnalités existant dans Netvibes par défaut, comme la recherche dans vos flux, n'existe pas sur Google Reader. But, again, a solution via a Greasemonkey script can solve this problem. To improve your daily use of Google Reader, I invite you to read two excellent articles Get More From Google Reader Guide and Hack Attack: Getting good with Google Reader , particularly thorough and full of practical tips, such as extending Google Reader Notifier for Firefox , for example.

short, I am completely satisfied with my choice for Google Reader (my Netvibes remains essential for other functions) and following the news a bit in recent weeks, I realize I'm not the one and a craze for Google Reader arises. As proof, many articles on the benefit of readers including web-based/online for Google Reader on TechCrunch.fr and Read / WriteWeb here and there , among others ...

And you, what RSS reader son has your preference? Rather web-based/online or desktop?
