Good Online Feedreader?

What's a good online feed reader? I tried bloglines but don't like it at all. I LOVE RSSBandit, but I'm finding that I switch my time on various computers a lot, and keeping my reading synched is a chore and a half, such that if I'm away from my home desktop for any period of time, I just don't bother and end up with a backlog of items to read. I know google reader is out there, I'll probably give that a shot...any recommendations?

Have you tried the (<a href="http://beta.bloglines.com>Bloglines beta)? I know several people who hated the old UI but like the new one.

As someone who has switched over the years from Bloglines to Newsgator to Google Reader, I've got to recommend Google Reader. I love the keyboard shortcuts and the feature that marks items read as they scroll off the screen.

Addressing the "synched reading" question, I'd recommend trying NewsGator. NewsGator's Web interface is pretty good (but not outstanding), but you can use NewsGator online for when you're away from your own machine and FeedDemon -- the best desktop feed reader ever -- when you're at home. Your feed subscriptions, read/unread items, and so on are automagically synched between the two.

If it's a pure online solution you want I'd probably go with Google over NG, but I can't recommend FeedDemon highly enough, and the NG/FD synching may be just what you're looking for.

As someone who's only ever used Google Reader, I would have to say it is by far the best.

(See your not the only one that can snipe comments)
