I too have switched to Google Reader after reading an article on lifehacker. I am enjoying being able to group RSS feeds into folders and I like the improved readability of the feeds. Where Bloglines was a means to an end for me, with Google Reader I can see the true long term potential of RSS and how it will change both the recruiting industry and how we digest information in general. Since making the switch I have started adding more blogs than I had in the past. The organization capability has given me the power to get to what I want much faster. I also really like being able to switch between views. If Google adds gmail access (rather than the other way around) and a search bar (I like the I’m feeling lucky option), I would certainly make Google Reader my home page. Hi Joel,

Yes I agree once you start using RSS feeds there is no need for the email updates, which become a bit of a pain in the end, by the way I have yours. Incidentally I tried out the Google reader again as you gave it a mention and I like some of the changes they have made, but for me I prefer http://www.netvibes.com you may want to check it out.
