Why I think Bloglovin' is Bitchin'

As most all of you know

(And are more than likely SUPER sick of hearing about)

GFC and Google Reader are gonna be bye-bye soon

When I found this out a couple months ago, I was pretty miffed.

I worked my buns off acquiring new friends through GFC and I was proud of the number of readers I had gotten

Only to feel the crushing blow of Google's bad news.  

I instantly went on the search for new ways to follow my favorite blogs 

(see the sidebar for just a few)

and also what was the hottest choice among "followers" or as I have lovingly deemed you My Darlin's

I found Bloglovin' and was instantly hooked.  

I have been using bloglovin' solely since Google's betrayal and let me just say, I didn't even realize how unhappy I was with Google Reader in the first place until I witnessed the sheer awesomeness and ease of use of Bloglovin' first hand.

So, Now I have a new love.

Bloglovin' has some really awesome features and it seems like they are always trying to stay ahead of the curve and keep it fresh and new.

I especially like the bright open and easy way that they display blog posts

Google reader always felt so closed off and impersonal in the way they presented posts.

Bloglovin' also displays larger pictures

You can look through your feed one blog at a time or chronologically across all the blogs you follow

They have a really cool app for your browser that keeps a running count of how many posts you have waiting to be read, which I think, (at least in my case) keeps me on track better with all the blogs I read

They have a bunch of Follow buttons and offer insights in the form of a graph on how your readers have changed (+/-)

I honest to goodness have no idea how I ever got along without bloglovin'!

I say ALL of that to say this:

Google Reader's day in the sun is over, and if you would like to continue keeping up with the Pup
