Please ignore the vitriol in the above post... been a long day and I was frustrated with things breaking...

Grazr has saved me so much time over the last year, I don't think I could so much development without it!

Thanks Marjolein! That was very informative. I definitely will take a look at Grazr. I'm a Newsgator guy though since there are several options (including paid desktop version) for syncing to different computers and devices. Bloglines and Grazr should definitely add that functionality. Anybody else out there using Grazr?

Having played around with Grazr for the past year or so, I feel inclined to comment on your review of Grazr's most recent release.

The most eminent improvement to the Grazr service in my opinion is the release of its web-based reading list editor. Contrary to what you state I'm afraid Grazr doesn't support the creation of custom feeds (yet).

A reading list in the definition used by Grazr and several other RSS-based services is not so much a custom feed, but a list of sources around a particular interest. Grazr makes creating, presenting and browsing reading lists a breeze.

A reading list could focus on a topic, on a person, an event or even a particular news headline.

Reading list sources can be feeds, URL pointers, snippets of text, multimedia items and (recursive as such) OPML files.

I hope this clarifies what the Grazr release of this week is about.

With the best of intentions...
