Google's version of Bloglines, Google Reader, is now available as a public beta. The first feed I put in was for Jon's GoogleRumors, since that's where I found out Google Reader was live. I echo Jon's sentiments, and will also note, based on my own feed, that Google Reader doesn't recognize HTML tags in post titles. It doesn't seem as zippy as Gmail does, either. I'll keep my eye on it, but it won't be replacing NetNewsWire for me any time soon.
