I'm becoming increasingly disenchanted with Google Reader. If you want to know what the hell Google reader is to begin with you can read up on it at Wikipedia. Google Reader is getting exceedingly slow and I haven't added all that many feeds of late. I honestly don't believe it's my computer as I'm running one of the fastest linux distros out there (Puppy Linux), if not the fastest, on a Pentium 4 processor with 1.5 giga-bytes of RAM.
As it stands I've been testing out rss/atom feed aggregator sites and have settled on one I think I am going to start using as my primary one. It's called .Collected and I'm very impressed with it's simplicity. I really don't need all that much functionality and "bells and whistles". And because I'm a Twitter addict it works out perfectly that I can share articles on Collected with Twitter and Facebook as well. I also like the fact that your "collection" is public as a visible web-page (though you can make it private). The downside is that you have to "check for availability" when creating a collection.
Otherwise, like I said, I'm pretty impressed with Collected.
