I'm a newsblur user but it is in no way a placement for reader. For one newsblur will only track the last 30 days of posts (or is it 30 news posts).
So for example in reader I might add site like Unity's blog. Reader would show the entire history as unread. I could then slowly go through all the old tutorials since they're all there. Newsblur I can't do that. It won't pull in stuff past a certain date/count.
That also means I can't just put some feeds on "low burn" mode where I keep them but only check them very seldom because the unread stuff will slide off of newsblur's limited post queue
- disposition2 11y agoWhen I look at a feed with the 'All / Newest' setting, it is showing me stuff that is over 3 years old. Maybe just the view you are using?

- sp332 11y agoMaybe the feeds you're loading still include posts from 3 years ago? So the posts are still being loaded recently.
- aheilbut 11y agoI have never understood why RSS, in addition to being a document format, doesn't include a specification for a really simple API that supports requesting the full archives for a feed. Every feed could be responsible for providing its own canonical archive. It would be a trivial addition to the implementation of blogging software, and would be immensely useful.
- conesus 11y agoThis is a brilliant idea. First I've heard of it, and I run NewsBlur. Where were you when the RSS spec was being worked on!
- vanderZwan 11y agoTBF, Newsblur doesn't enjoy the craploads of infrastructure that Google has.
