Google Reader预计将会在美国领跑

我使用Google Reader一方面是因为比较好用，另一方面是因为集成的威力，用一个打开的Firefox就可以使用所有的Google服务，这种诱惑力绝对不是一般的大，我不用来来回回在不同的网站之间切换了。在美国，目前在市场占有第一位的还不是Google Reader，而是另外一个产品，Bloglines，不过，根据Read/WriteWeb的看法，Google Reader超越Bloglines只是时间的问题，下面是对比的情况。

需要说明一下的是，大家对Google的推崇有点过了，而且是很有点过了，比如GSeeker，经产发布一些“Google某个产品字体大了一号”、“Google某个产品搜索框打了一点”之类的愚蠢消息，本来想退订的，不过既然已经习惯了，倒也无所谓了。屁大点的事情，根本算不上什么，就拿出来发个新闻，有问题反倒不一定发，这不是好现象。

Bloglines vs Google Reader Update: Can Bloglines Hold On?

from Read/WriteWeb by Richard MacManus

At the end of last week, we posted on Bloglines vs Google Reader - Who's Really Winning?. The answer was: Bloglines, but Google Reader is catching up fast. We've just received a new chart from Hitwise, which also shows Netvibes and Newsgator. So it shows the context of this "two-horse race", as Bloglines GM Eric Engleman described it. Here is the new chart:

But can Bloglines hold onto its lead? On that theme there was an interesting comment on our previous post, by Erkko, who wrote:

"Even though Blogline still leads, this situation will not last for much longer. Google Reader will overpower Bloglines with the integration to the Google service portfolio (ala. iGoogle already), and especially when Google accelerates their mobile plans. Bloglines just won't have the steam to win this fight."

This is a fair point - Google appears to have a lot of integration options for its Reader. However Bloglines is owned by Ask.com, which has plenty to offer too.

After doing some testing of both Bloglines and GReader over the past week or so, I still think Google Reader is better. So Bloglines has more work to do. But the competition is now much better, since Bloglines Beta was released last week.
