I'm curious to people's preferences - do you use Google Reader to keep up with your blogs, or if you are on Blogspot, do you use the new "Following" feature?
I use Google Reader, but I have a bunch of followers on Blogger, and I'm curious about any benefits from using Blogger Dashboard instead, or drawbacks, etc. Any thoughts?
I pretty much exclusively use Google Reader as I found that a lot of times, feeds would not show up in Blogger. Plus I check google much more often than Blogger, especially since I'm a Wordpress user now.
i prefer following i suppose since it's right there on my dashboard when i login to my account. i also have google reader (it transports any blogger following you add onto your reader) but just don't check it as often.
I think I have mine set up so that whatever is listed in my Google Reader is also exactly what is listed on Bloggers "blogs I'm following" page. And that same list of blogs are also listed on the sidebar of my blog. So basically, the same list in 3 different places.
Same here -- I use Google Reader's option to import blogs I'm following on Blogger. That way, I can show my support to other Blogger users who can see that I'm following them, but I use Reader to actually keep up with all the blogs I read because I can also add other stuff, like the nifty 20SB feeds that can be subscribed to directly from Google Reader. Or something.
