I was surprised you thought it was easy to add feeds to a specific folder; maybe it's just me being new to bloglines but I thought they made it kind of complicated! Otherwise I'd say we had pretty similar experiences. Good comparison. =)
That was a pretty good comparision. I found the differences between the two to be minor and pretty much up to personal taste as to which one is 'better'.
I am a Rutgers College alumni (99') and MLIS graduate ('10) at Rutgers University. I am also a Rutgers staff member and work as a Manager of Academic Programs with the Continuing Studies. I create and maintain various databases, and manage practically all digital information for our off site locations in Freehold, Mays Landing, and North Branch locations as well as help oversee the digital data for all off campus departments university wide.
