Like many other people in the blogosphere, I’ve been playing with Google Reader, and I’ve found it to be a pretty good aggregator. But it’s lacking one big, important feature: The “catchup” button. I want to be able to mark all my feeds read with a single keystroke.
What would be really nice would be the ability to mark all articles from a selected feed read. But I think that’s difficult in the current interface because it seems to melt all articles into the same pot.
Before I sound too critical, I have to point out that what Google Reader does, it does very well. I found it quick, responsive and easy on the eyes. Good work, chaps!
Oh, and there’s one really, really important innovation: It brings vi-style keystrokes to the people. Yay Google!
