I'm going to stick with gmail reader since it's a much better interface than bloglines. I don't lose anywhere near as many posts unread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is gmail reader exactly?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's a thing to set up so you can read multiple blogs (and other stuff, apparently?) in one place.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Now I'm rather glad Gmail cruelly crashed my account some years ago and I've boycotted Google ever since.

Enh. It was a dick move, but it was naive to believe their "do no evil" proclamation.
It's not going to affect my usage of their gmail services for my professional or anonymous email addresses.
And I'm not saying that just because I just bought an Android phone...

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Oooh. Which one did you pick?

Yeah, I'm going to go on using google for email. Its not like Comcast or the paid email services follow a "don't be evil policy".

I'm evaluating the Cliq. I figure this way I can get a sense of the OS in a package I can return. If I hate it, it goes back. If I totally fall for the OS maybe I return it and get an unlocked Droid, which I won't be able to return.
So far I'm grumpy about the lack of native OS X integration. And I don't have a primary gmail account with all my contacts. Although I do have a gmail account for my phone I'll populate if I can work out how.

It bums me out because gmail is my private email.

Oh, it's fuckery, no doubt.
I wonder what the motivation was--a new geek toy that didn't get thought through? A marketing decision where opt out was thought perfectly viable, even if it's something you have to read up on to work out how to do?
I'm still not entirely sure why I want a Buzz. Why it's different from Twitter or Facebook statuses or even Google Wave. And know what! So not going to bother looking, since it doesn't seem you can experiment without poking holes in the fabric.
