You are the one app that is better on my phone than the computer! http://visual77.com/blog/2009/12/congratulatons-google-reader-you-are-the-one-app-that-is-better-on-my-phone-than-the-computer/ http://visual77.com/blog/2009/12/congratulatons-google-reader-you-are-the-one-app-that-is-better-on-my-phone-than-the-computer/#comments Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:29:25 +0000 visual77 http://www.visual77.com/blog/?p=469

I really need to find a new RSS reader. Google Reader, for all it’s strengths, is really starting to annoy me. I have 352 unread items with no manageable way to filter that list down. If I choose expanded view, they automatically mark as read upon scrolling past (good), but sometimes I have to scroll past 20 pages of images (mostly game screens, bad). If I choose list view, I can see just titles (good) but anytime I scroll down, more items pop up (bad). I cannot find a way to just view 30 or so item titles, and then click mark all as read and view the next 30… except on my Droid.

This is the one website that is more usable on my phone than on the site. All I want is an easy way to chew through these 352 items. Let me mark a chunk as read by title alone. Don’t force me to change my RSS reader over this.

If anyone knows a way to stop the list view from auto loading items on the bottom, I will kill one person of your choosing. Deal?
