Fact: I am glued to Google Reader all day long.  It contains all the technical and security items I like/need to be informed of for work.  I also get to read stories about what actress was in Florida wearing a bikini after eating a box of donuts, so you could say it’s all encompassing.  Since I picked up an iPad 2 a few months back, I’ve really gotten into Flipboard to parse and present all my reading options to me, as one of the big perks of having an iPad for your news consumption is to have it displayed in pretty, pretty pictures with nice formatting instead of text mode (my only dig on Reeder).

Enter Google Currents, Google’s attempt at a Flipboard killer.  However, Flipboard updates Google Reader, marking my posts read when I flip through them.  Google Currents, brought to you by Google, makers of Google Reader, does not.

Advantage: Flipboard.
