Google Reader is Awesome!

OK, I'm giving Google Reader a second chance and I'm loving it! They've fixed my previous issues with sorting of items and it's now very pleasing to use.

Notes:

  • Blog This! is very weak. Need some MetaWeblogApi and del.icio.us API action.
  • I think I have to add the Google Reader subscribe to the chicklets generator. Quickly!

Update: It broke again, it's now giving me the items out of sequence again. If this thing sorted by date, then I might abandon all other news reader. Maybe not all of them :-)

Yes, I knew about the lens sorting links. I'm sorting by date. Everything is fine when I launch the browser and start read. The problem happens when I refresh.

Are your read items toggled as hidden? 
Yes, read is hidden.

If you read the top six items and press refresh does the seventh show at the top?
Nope, but that's because there was two new entries, the 7th is now the 3rd. In fact, when I only read 6 and refresh, the list remains sorted. I read several dozen, then refresh, read several dozen, then refresh and eventually, the list goes quacky.

Subscribe to Channel 9. It seems to accentuate the problem.

Occasionally, I go by items too fast, but I doubt this is related to the problem.

I had used google for years but lately have gone to other search engines.  They are just to commercialized now.  Some searches bring up so many paid links that it just takes forever to sort through the garbage.   I have found them to be at least 50% of the time to be less than helpful.  Pretty much a waste to put it bluntly and I am disappointed because they used to be the best out there.  Not Any More.
Since Google doesn't do paid placement, you don't make any sense.
