Ok, that is definitely one of my favourite user-generated blog post titles. :)

For those not terribly familiar with us yet, there's a bunch more info on how we do what we do here: http://postrank.com/postrank.html

And, of course, folks are always welcome to ping me with questions, feedback, etc.

I definitely struggle to keep on top of all my feeds, there's some that I have that I just browse and others that are of more interest and which I follow more keenly. I also find that Google Reader Trends helps me to reflect on how much I really do follow a specific feed. Thanks for the info about Aide, it's good to check out feeds on that as well.

Thanks for the Aide tip Doug, I have trimmed a number of my busier feeds, it will help me get more work done as there'll be less excuses to read stuff instead!

The problem is, John, that I use 3 different laptops on a daily basis, plus my iPhone. Having Feedly on my two own laptops plus using Google Reader on my iPhone keeps everything organized well. :-)

Yes, as Edwin states, there's various screens in Feedly. The one you show is the front screen, but there are separate ones for each category, feed, The Wall, etc.

I love Feedly - it's great!

Hi Darren,

The top part of the screenshot is called the feedly cover: it contains a list of articles from the source you subscribe to in Google Reader. The list if filtered in 3 ways: what you mark explicitly as favorite and people you follow recommend and what is generally recommended by the feedly community.

The bottom part is what feedly calls the wall: it is a more raw, time based list of all the articles you and the people you follow recommend.

Do you follow anyone? (note: follow in feedly == subscribe to the recommendation feed of that someone in Google Reader).

Happy to try to address any other questions you might have regarding feedly.

So I'm wondering how Feedly works. It seems to have taken a lot of the content that I have shared and mashed it together in a jumbled format - compared to how I originally shared it. See what I mean here:

Maybe I'm mistaken?

Hi Doug,
I am a desktop reader fan, now on netnewswire a mac app. Since getting an iPhone and the netnewswire app for it I found i can go through a lot of my feed pretty quickly on the train to and from work. I don't really rwad the posts fully on he phone but add interesting ones to my clippings folder, these sync t o my desktop app for further perusal.
