(I won't even mention Twitter.) I like ZapTXT, but I won't claim it's necessarily superior as I did claim that Omea Pro is the best reader (which it is).

The reason I did switch to Google Reader is because I always saw that damn Bloglines plumber. Google of course had a lot less downtime than Bloglines did. I even expect hiccups to happen even at the biggest of companies. I never seem to use offline readers because I switch computers too often and it's just too much of a hassle.

I wish Newsgator would get its act together and improve the reliability and useability of its online reader, because I think if it worked properly it would be a viable alternative to Google Reader. I like Bloglines o.k., but its style is cheesy and you can't adjust the volume on its embedded mp3 player. I've also noticed Newsgator online refreshes feeds faster than Google Reader. It's highly ironic to me that as more traditionally desktop-based apps are migrating online (i.e. Zoho, Google Docs), offline RSS readers still dominate the market.
