My main issue is that Newsgator kind of bungled this a bit. They were great at walking through how to import your Newsgator feeds to Google Reader, but the beta of FeedDemon (and possibly NetNewsWire, I haven't checked on my macbook yet) don't support syncing with Google Reader. So in my transition, I either need to maintain my RSS feeds at Newsgator AND Google Reader until the desktop apps are updated, or just walk away from the desktop apps until the end of the month. You'd think they'd have everything all set together before they did this, since this is an internal timeline and not something where there is external pressure. Bah.

But I've been fiddling with Google Reader all afternoon, and now that I have a better handle on it I'm not as annoyed. Just hope it doesn't get blocked at work...I actually use RSS to follow several work-related sites at once, and Newsgator was never a problem. But Google is more likely to set off the web filter.
