Am I missing something? Endless scrolling is the reason GReader wiped the floor with the competition, without it Yoleo's not the same at all, plus it has a three-column layout. Also, with Ubuntu/Firefox, the navigation keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work... except in the right column, which I don't need in the first place?

I'd say you are missing something :) I'm in the process of implementing a "headline mode", as mentioned here and elsewhere that will bring that sort of two column functionality for those who like it. Also regarding the shortcuts, you're using Firefox? I noted in the blog and through my notification system that users using firefox will have issues with shortcuts until I squash whatever bug is causing the problem.

  The end-less scroll of feeds in GR is not just a UI feature. It's an incredible/killer data feature that let you go back to the entire history of a feed (since GR start to capture the feed for anybody), even if you just subscribed to a new feed. It's content sharing at its finest. GR is not just feed aggregator but the most complete feed archive ever existed -- am I the only one who realize this? I don't think there'll be an adequate GR replacement, ever! unless G donates the feed archive to the public, which I think would be one of the best things G can do now.

    You are not the only one to realize this. http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Google_Reader http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Google_Reader has backed up 30 million feeds so far. (And needs everybody's OPML files to back up more.)

Shameless plug here, but Lector[1] has a two-column layout (and you can also hide the sidebar if you like) and endless scrolling. It's also surprisingly similar to Yoleo's layout in some points. If you like them, maybe you should check us out too ;) [1] http://bealector.com http://bealector.com
