Being a Bloglines user, I failed to notice a few key features of Google Reader that are easily overlooked. As for me, I will continue giving Google Reader a try; it has some interesting features lacking in Bloglines. Jordan, thanks for the heads up.

(like someone above mentioned, in the Manage Subscription screen). Then again, I've never used Bloglines, so I can't really say if your comparison is fair or not.

There's a button at the bottom of each post to mark it as unread, or you can read all the stories in a feed regardless of their status (and, as you mentioned, it's an option that can be turned off). You can browse by feed or "river of news" format. I have all of my feeds arranged into folders by theme in Google Reader. You can do this on the Manage Subscriptions page, or as you subscribe to new feeds. You can even set it so that the "home" page for Google Reader is in the view of one of those folders or a specific feed. Actually, Google Reader does do those things.
