I too, continue to use Google Reader, even though I've been lamenting its deficiencies for more than two years.
I go into more detail in these posts [http://blog.trevorbramble.com/past/tags/googlereader http://blog.trevorbramble.com/past/tags/googlereader] where I try to glue together Reader and Yahoo Pipes because Reader can't do even basic de-duplication.
Despite my gripes about it, it's the best available. (Though I'm sure their lack of improvements has a lot to do with that fact.)
- cake 17y agoYes yes, I'm an avid GR user too and I can't believe how slowly it evolves. There's a lack of keywords feed filtering, feeds personalisation, items expiration, some way to archive items for later and on and on... My guess is that it's a very small team working on Google Reader and that they have the wrong priorities : the social stuff, at least it is for me.
- trevorbramble 17y agoI really should revive the Sluice project. Keyword filtering and setting aside items are two of the most concrete intended features (alongside de-duplication and same-link post stacking). I have to admit I was interested in exploring the social side with my app as well, so I'm glad Google made that mistake before I did. =^) I just want a way to manage my river of news so that the can't-miss items aren't missed, and the always-skip items are skipped, and above all I should never be blithely offered the same exact link with the same exact metadata more than once. Everything beyond that is negotiable.
