I had already signed up for Google reader previously in order to feed relevant built environment updates from other sources into the subject blog.
I too initially needed to remember to login to the Google reader to keep up to speed with all the feeds, however now that I have set iGoogle as my homepage I have added it as a gadget so that it is much easier to check new feeds and filter categories i.e 23things or architectural resources.
I tried both browsing & searching within the reader and also directly adding via sites using RSS icon, personally I found the reader was slightly easier in terms of using within one interface.
I particularly liked this from daily dose of architecture feed, a project site for Mexico Public Library...now that is some serious stacks.
