Google v Newsgator

Yesterday during lunch I set up a google reader. I have been using Newsgator for quite a while now, but the thing I didn't like about it was that if I marked something as read it disappeared altogether. Being the hoarder that I am, plagued by the "just in case", I didn't want to mark something as read and get rid of it straight away - just in case I wanted to come back later. So I set up a google reader to see if I could read things and still leave them there. Yippee - I can! This might not be so helpful in my war against hoarding, but now I can actually see where the new posts are.
