Goodbye Newsgator... Hello Google Reader!

I think that the time has come...

I have been an avid user of the Newgator online RSS reader for quite some time now (Maybe as long as a year). It has been my one stop shop for all of the latest on the internet. In fact, I use it so much that I have it burned in my brain to visit http://mail.yahoo.com and then http://www.newsgator.com... I almost type the two addresses as one.

When Google first came out with Google reader, I did not really like it (And I love Google). Yesterday, Google gave me what I wanted and updated the google reader. It now has the features that I have longed for. The main feature that I wanted was the ability to mark an item as read (As if it were email)... After playing around with the reader today, I believe that I may be switching from Newsgator to Google Reader. I will keep both running for a while and see which one I like the best. First impression- Google rocks!
