I’ve been growing slowly frustrated with Bloglines and its limitations, especially with respect to its speed, spotty handling of entry graphics, lost saved entries, and only storing 200 entries per feed. Once the magic 200 entries have been received, all the other new ones are dropped. At least give me the option to keep the 200 most recent entries; use a first-in first-out queue. I’ve also seen my share of entries pointing to a blank space where a picture should be.

Over the past few months, I’ve read about people liking Google Reader, but every time I’ve tried it, it’s been an unsatisfying experience. The latest updates along with my mounting frustration with Bloglines, though, have gotten me to mostly switch. There are a few entries in Bloglines that I’ve got saved to read, but beyond those, I’m doing all of my feed reading at Google Reader now.

Now, if only they’d add a feature that would sort your feeds in ascending chronological order instead of the default descending chronological order, I think I’d be completely (vs. mostly) happy with Google Reader.
