Notes:
Google Reader is newer to the scene than Bloglines or Newsgator and not quite as refined, but it is already a worthy competitor. I was a longtime Bloglines user, but I have been very happy with my switch to Google Reader.
Google Reader offers a very clean interface, and it uses the same Google Account login that most other Google products use.
In addition to subscribing to feeds, you can organize feeds into folders, mark favorite items within feeds and publish public feed collections.Google Reader will also generate a cut and paste snippet of JavaScript code that you can add to a Web site or blog.
Google Reader can import your feeds from most popular feed readers.
