Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I switched to Google Reader a few years ago because I found it somewhat better and was tired of Bloglines being down as often as it was.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah, I switched to google reader for the same reason. I also like the keyboard commands to quick go through feeds.

Spidra, can we help you transition to google reader?

Spidra, Bloglines will let you export a list of your blog subscriptions, which you can then import into Google Reader (saving you from having to enter them all by hand).

Google reader is better, but I switched to Bloglines because some Google reader was causing my computer to crash. (Not reader's fault: this is an old computer and I suspect it was hitting a bad spot in the disk or in Ram or something of that sort.)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Thanks, le nubian. I think I'm just going to have to barrel through and over my UI objections. But I will certainly ask questions here when/if I encounter "huh?" moments.

Thanks, tommyrot. I exported them when I first joined Reader but I'll have to go through again to make sure I haven't missed some that I've added since. It doesn't help that there are some blogs I read mostly through FriendFeed.com

I just saw this! It's the feed I use, too. Oh, well, I'll go ahead and transfer it all tonight.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Is there a way to read Twitter in chronological order? I mean exactly the reverse of how it's presented?

a lot of apps let you do that, DCJ. do you read on your phone or on your computer?
