I should say up front that I've been a Google Reader user for awhile, so I don't think that Bloglines could displace my love in one day.
- I actually prefer the font Bloglines uses, although I downloaded the Firefox Add-on for Google Reader and it has made things much prettier.
- I like how Google Reader lists new items front and center when you access the page. Bloglines split screen bugs me.
- I also like how Google Reader gives me recommendations based on my viewing habits. I know some people think it's creepy, but I've actually subscribed to some of the blogs "they" list for me, and I've been happy I did.
- Google Reader automatically lists the previous posts of a person's blog when you click on the blog title in the sidebar. Bloglines requires an extra click (I know, it's a travesty) by clicking the Display button.
- This is a little silly, but I like how Bloglines gives the number of blog subscriptions above the folders on the sidebar. You can see the number in Google Reader but only when you go to manage your subscriptions.
- I do like how Bloglines lets you see the number of subscribers to a feed.
- Also, I like how Bloglines lets you choose the folder as you add the subscription. In Google Reader, you have to add the subscription and then go into Manage Subscriptions to choose the folder.

I also like the Google reader recommendations. Sometimes the best way to find things is when you are not even looking! I like Google reader better I think, but I don't like to succumb to Google fever so I try to stick with alternatives.
