I am liking Digg reader the best. It is the only one to have properly imported all my tags and starred items (which go back to 2008)

Nice - I just signed up for an invite. This will be great if the invitation comes before Google shuts down reader - otherwise I doubt I'll be able to import my old stuff. With Newsblur, which has otherwise been OK, I was only able to import 20 or so starred items.

To import all of your starred stories from Reader, go to Manage > Import.

As of two days ago I had yet to receive my invite. The invitation arrived over the weekend and I was able to import without issues. Thanks.
