Haven't heard a better metaphor for apps yet. Long live the web.
In all my infinite wisdom, I tried out a few apps from google chrome. And gave them permission to see what websites I view. Does anyone know if that goes away once I uninstall said app, or is there any extra mucking about and cookie removal I should take care of to make sure feedly isn't following me everywhere, even after it's uninstalled?

Once you uninstall a Chrome extension and close all tabs (since code could have been injected into them), there won't be any code related to it running on your machine. It is still theoretically possible that while a Chrome extension was running that it updated state (via a cookie or otherwise) on webpages you were visiting, so perhaps clearing cookies could be helpful, but I'm not aware of this happening.
