Always the last to know
I’ve considered using Google Reader for my blog reading, but ditched it because (at last check) you couldn’t order entries oldest first. I figure that there may be updates and so on, so I want to read things in the order they were posted.
The only thing I didn’t like about Bloglines is that when I start reading a site, every post is marked read. This means if I don’t have time to read everything Jessamyn West has had to say over the past week I won’t read, which leads to me not reading a bunch of blogs I’m otherwise interested in.
So why has no one read my mind and told me that the Bloglines Beta (the first ‘B’ is an uppercase beta: I see what you did there) does exactly what I want? If there’s a post I have to hit j to highlight it to have it marked read, but eh. Definitely worthwhile.
