Google Reader is out in public beta, and boy is it cool. Just about every nerd out there [myself included] is already hootin’ and bloggin’ and hollerin’ about it.

It is definitely a slick interface, AJAX’ed to the max. I’ve been using bloglines when I don’t have access to Thunderbird, but the Google Reader interface is much better in my opinion (which pretty much means nothing). Grumble about Google all you want, but as long as they keep giving me juicy delicious free stuff, they are my pal.

And yes, OMPL import is supported, but it sure did take a while to import all my feeds…

Google Reader = Kool

UPDATE: I still think it’s kool, but it’s slow as molASSes right now. The keyboard shortcuts are totally rad, reminds me of the good old [noarrownavigation] vi days on HPUX11.
