this type of functionality is better handled by a website. netvibes has good presentation, remembers what articles you have read, and will export your opml file so you can migrate your blogroll to another tool.

I disagree. Even with my 3 MB/sec cable link, page refresh latency is rather large. I can crank thorugh 200 feeds much faster using a local app using locally cached data. This is especially true when the feeds include enclosures.

And, make sure to save those OPML files! There are tons of startup feed reading sites competing for very little revenue. A number of them will disappear without warning in the next few years.
