Finding an alternative to Google Reader

Google has pulled the plug on Reader thus the hunt for an alternative has started.

Requirements:

  • syndicate RSS feeds
  • dedupe feeds
  • keyboard navigation of feeds
  • un-minimize snipped contents from a feed
  • ability to track what has been seen and has yet to be seen
  • categorization/filing
  • tagging/saving of articles

Nice to haves:

  • sharing is caring

  • Minus: fails to process all content correctly
  • Minus: UI's a mess
  • Minus: sharing is extra clunky (ie only for newsblur?)
  • Positive: it's up and running

  • The Old Reader (http://theoldreader.com/))
  • Minus: idea of 'read' seems shakey
