Actually I think the Google Read is pretty cool, and since its going to be used by thousands upon thousands of people, it will probably end up being devved up quite well.

[...] For a beta service, Google Reader is a pretty nice tool and includes a search feature that adds a “subscribe” button to the links returned with the search results, which of course are narowed down to only websites that have feeds.

[...] Google has released a web-based RSS reader and aggregator that is pretty nice. You can read all posts from all the feeds you subscribe to in a chronological order, or you can just read from a specific feed. It has lots of AJAX and a pretty smooth interface with shortcut keys that really speed up using it, although some people say it’s too slow. But I don’t read 1000 feeds. My issue with it is that it’s web-based, and while I’m employed building web software and I love the web as a universal platform, I still have to go to the website when I want to read my feeds, they’re not delivered to my desktop like in my email client. I’ll see how it goes. [...]

I wonder about some of the design choices. I’m not finding an option to group my feeds, I can only see each individual post as it comes in. Also, I can’t update the official Google blog through Bloglines since Reader launched. What an interesting coincidence.

I agree it needs more speed and perfection. Most of the time I was stuck at the loading or oops error occured :)

it would be interesting to see the concept of the Context search feature that yahoo is exploring, in conjunction with reading an particular item to see more info – somewhat like alexa.com but not at a site level.

On second thought, maybe that would just be the Related links feature that google already has?

One note, everybody forgets about Kinja but it rocks for quickly surveying rss feeds….uses the “river of news” approach and is much lighter-weight than Bloglines.
