Does synchronizing your bookmarks transmit the read/unread state of
all the items as well?

If so, I might possibly switch from Google Reader, since I'd love to
be able to force the reader to re-check a feed instead of waiting for
"the great Google scraper in the cloud" to decide it's time to look
for new items.

However, on the flip side, the benefit of using a distributed
Web-based feed reader is that it *does* check regularly. If you're
following a high-traffic feed, a local reader can only see what's
currently in the XML and can miss things if they get pushed out by
newer items before you manually reload. Since the cloud-scraper is
independent of me, I can be sure that I end up seeing everything in
the feed regardless of how often I look at it.
