Bloglines, meet GReader

I’ve just stumbled across Google Reader. This is Google’s online RSS aggregator, in direct competition with Bloglines. As expected for any modern web application, there is a healthy helping of AJAX (although Google normally refer to is as plain old JavaScript).

There’s a (very brief) tour for the nervous/curious, but it’s just as easy to sign in with your Gmail ID (which is fast becoming the Google Passport) and start using it. I’ve already imported all my subscription from Bloglines, so I’ll see how I get on…
