A pretty interesting video here - this is actually IONS contributing to the program that COTS does:

Just commented on a Blogger site - I have a "blogger account", that I normally use for commenting - but I notice the "nom de plume" that I use, was changed. 

Going to blogger, I find that I am logged in with my gmail account.

I actually preferred having them separate - so I'll have to see how to have both. 

Still, interesting to continually see this progression of Google features.

I've been using the My Yahoo page as my reader, over the last couple of months - having the ability to quickly scan entries, when you subscribe to as many sites as I do, becomes a necessity - so this morning I checked my Google Reader, to discover that the application has been completely redesigned.

And, from the look of it - very well designed!  Both quick check, one line, to scrolling the entire list, to quick ways to tag entries - very very nice.

I might have more feedback later, but fyi!
