Switching to an online News reader
So after giving up on flock I turned to online news readers. The one I've heard a lot about was bloglines. To begin with I think there is a lot of improvements they can do with the UI. It was a serious turn off for me. Then there was the non-Ajax refresh which was another big usability bottleneck. Its hard to understand why they haven't switched to Ajax for most of the server interactions.
May be I am dumb, or may be I got used to flock, but I couldn't figure out how to create folders and subfolders for by blogs which I want to read. Managing 200 blogs without subfolders gets a little tough. Bloglines has a few interesting features like creating your own blogs, creating blogrolls, etc... which are nice but they are not for me.
BTW there were two other news readers I did think about but didn't investigate deep enough. I didn't like Google Reader for its complicated interface, and didn't want to start using MyYahoo after being burnt by their Mail service sometime back.
