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. -- Brad Beyenhof http://augmentedfourth.com Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right. ~ Igor Stravinsky -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
