Google Reader (Thing 6)

I have to admit that Google Reader is a 'no brainer' as far as ease of use is concerned. However, I've dabbled into readers/aggregators in the past and found that I never really cared to use them. It mostly has to do with the fact that there's no particular website that I frequent enough to want to add into a reader. This may seem a little old fashioned to some, but I mostly prefer to visit individual websites. Why? I usually end up navigating to something on the website I would not have otherwise seen or known about via a reader/aggregator. I surfed around awhile and ended up adding several websites to my reader. Now what remains to be seen is if I'll actually use the reader or navigate to some other web-based tool.
