google reader vs netvibes

June 4, 2010

Just used the instructions on @skiddie2′s blog to get a bulk set of RSS feeds into Google reader and also Netvibes, as suggested on Cam23.

once I’d worked out you actually have to save the OPML file, and not just treat it as an RSS feed (ie don’t just copy the URL – d’oh!), then it worked really well. I’ve managed to upload into both systems, and behold – pictures of them both. I have to say I do much prefer Netvibes to Google reader – the way it’s laid out just suits me better, and the fact that I can colour code the feeds, and rearrange the feeds I find most useful to be at the top etc, etc. Plus you can go to see my netvibes page for yourself, which is nice (perhaps).

must be a non-linear thinker, or something……
