RSS or Bookmarks?

Each day I usually go through and check out around 10 different blogs. These are mostly my friend’s blogs or people I know. When I first started this blogging thing I used Google Reader to keep track of everyone else’s blog posts. While Google Reader does do a good job it was sort of boring to me. Every time I would see something I would want to read I would click on the link and go to that person’s page anyways.

So since I recently reformatted my computer I have been using bookmarks. They are easy to keep organized, but do not tell me if someone has updated their blog. That is not such a big deal to me since most of the blogs I visit are updated each day. Going to someone’s blog instead of reading the RSS sort of brings you into their world. Their blog design, layout, etc lets you know that you are at their page reading their blog, rather then reading some text from Google Reader. So everyone RSS or bookmarks?
