All these projects to self host a copy of google reader are kind of missing the point. A native RSS reader that runs as a single application (ie, not web-crap) does everything better, faster, leaner, and more reliably over long timespans. I'm all for 'self-hosting'. I do it for all things that require it. But an RSS reader simply doesn't need that kind of complexity. It's cargo-cult.
