  The problem with them is that their OPML import times are ridiculous. I've literally been waiting over 2 weeks for 1 OPML file with about 30-40 feeds in it to be imported now. They really need to step up during this advantageous time for them and spin up more servers to handle imports. I've been checking in every few days and their import rate seems to be less than a thousand OPML files a day (when I signed up weeks ago, it was around 25000 users ahead of me with OPML files to be imported and I'm still waiting). Not giving me much confidence in their company at this early stage.

    I ran into the same issue. I'm not sure why it's so slow but I contacted them directly and they bumped my import to the head of the queue. I would recommend doing that. The site may be slow but at least their support is responsive. They also had some serious UI slowdowns for the first couple of days but it is better now. I've also noticed that the feeds don't update as rapidly, but that will probably improve over time and it's mostly only noticeable when compared directly to Google Reader.
