Setting up a feed reader

Its been a couple plus years, I have found reading blogs very interesting. On a boring day at work, I get pepped up by reading few blogs. In the year 2009, I had a healthy collection of blogs (mostly technical related). But the organization I was working at that moment in time, put a full stop to usage of freewares and that is how I stopped using one of the super cool utilities I have ever downloaded " The Sharpreader ".

However, I exported my subscriptions in the form of an OPML file, which I have even today, but sadly the same enthusiasm to read the same technical blogs had gone down since I stopped using Sharpreader.

Then when I moved on to a new organization in 2010, I started to use Google reader after importing my subscriptions. But in the year 2010, the travel bug had bitten me and I started reading loads and loads of travelogues. So apart from the usual blog subscriptions imported from my OPML file, I started to add more and more travel related blogs.

In the month of june 2010, I had to part ways with the travel bug which had bitten me. I moved to Singapore. And when I joined an organization over here, I was stopped from even opening Google reader at workplace. I have no regrets, not reading blogs via google reader. Even though I was reading few entries from home, I still was lacking the same zeal which I had a year back.

These days I read lots of inspirational blogs


Was reading one of them, which said, jump ahead and set up a feed reader. I thought for a moment, well, why not do some research on readers apart from google reader or sharpreader and set it up for a third time.

This is how this post popped up into my mind. Let me see which reader I choose.
