Yeah, no doubt it's a lot easier to stay on the Google Reader stack. With NewsBlur, it's completely separate from Google Reader (other than an initial Google Reader OAuth import of your feeds). Which means I have to write my own iPhone app to communicate with NewsBlur, but that's part of the fun. It's not a business, just a side project where I learn as much as I can about a huge variety of topics from server maintenance, to pattern recognition, to distributed systems (feed fetching).
