I use Google Reader to read my feeds, but I also like to go to the actual sites to comment and click around

Long time ago I used bloglines but used to repeat posts. Now I use Google Reader as feed reader, but just to know when a website has been updated, then I go to the site to read it there! I love to see how the sites changes daily!

That is interesting. Do both of you use a reader like Google Reader still to keep track of your frequently visited sites? I know I should give a lot more site visit love to my favorite sites, but a feed reader is a really convenient way to stay on top of everything without having to visit 30 different sites…

I fluctuate on whether or not to post partial or full feeds. Sometimes I’m more interested in trying to build discussion, and want people to see my ‘post a comment’ link while other times I really just want to be *read.*

Another problem is that I try to apply my own habits to those of my readers. Personally, I’m like Bret — I don’t read through a feedreader. It’s handy for sites that don’t update on a regular basis, but I still go to the site and read it there.

Interesting idea. Personally, I like to go to the blog itself to read the latest. I use Bloglines to subscribe to feeds but I never use it to read the feeds. Strange I know but I look at subscribing to a feed much the same as adding someone to your favorites back at Technorati. I know the subscription helps them so if I like the site I subscribe, but after that I just come to the site itself.
