Google reader used to do the recommendations thing. I loved that!! Also not having to scroll through everything at once is the beauty of the feeds list format. In other words, you have a list of feeds, that should be the only thing on the page. When you open a single feed, the content is displayed. I won't use a reader that doesn't do things that way. They might have articles on the bottom, after the list of feeds OK fine I guess. I never use that part of the page willingly. The problem is that too many feed readers are being developed to look like HN. No, that isn't how readers should be.
