  • The Wall can act as your social springboard to both shared items in Google Reader and Twitter updates.

  • Searches for more frequent terms, like Apple and Yahoo!, had their expected 1000+ results,

  • should you get bogged down with too many updates, feeds are flagged warm or cool based on your reading behavior and how often you mark them as favorites.
  • If you're the type of RSS power user who wants to read hundreds of items through aggressive keyboard navigation, then Google Reader still can't be beat,
  • but if you want to pick the very best from the many feeds you have, share items with friends and find new sources for news, Feedly is a compelling option.
