I've used Bloglines for almost 2 years now. I like the interface, I like the way "Keep New" works, and I like the fact I can share my OPML and use it to drive my links page. What has sucked is sharing posts. There is a blog in Bloglines, but I already have one of those and I can't configure the "blog this" to publish the item to my blog. Worse, "blog this" creates a link to Bloglines instead of a link to the article - if the feed doesn't show the full article you have to click a few times to get it. There is a "clippings" section that is perfect for saving posts, only you can't share clippings.
Perry mentioned his news/link blog the other day so I've given Google Reader another shot. I still read a good deal of political/legal blogs but I've sworn off posting about them because it distracts from the focus of this blog and, honestly, I don't have the time to devote to writing about the subject. Google Reader does have a great method for sharing posts, but I'm not digging the interface (I really don't like the keyboard interface screws up my FireFox "find as I type") and there is no way to share an OPML.
I have setup a news/link blog for political and legal issues of the technology world (mostly technology - other things might slip in there as well). There is also an RSS Feed if anyone wishes to subscribe. If you really want, Google tells me (every time I look at the shared items list) I can spam your inbox with my shared items. If that's your cup of tea who am I to judge? Drop me a note and I'll put your email on the list.

I also saw you shared my post about my link blog on your link blog... one can only hope the tubes will hold.

I have only now noticed your response to my comment. The "tubes" seem to have survived yet another potential rift in the space-time continuum.
