No, but I do use Reader at least weekly. I use RSS reader to avoid blog's annoying advertisement (although some blogs has ads in their RSS but that less annoy) and heavy load theme (yes my internet connection suck)

Good work there! Just wanted to point out that if you cycle through the feeds quickly on Chrome, the memory footprint keeps increasing and drags the system. Worked fine on IE though.
Didn't cause me any problems Chrome 13.0.782.99 beta, Mac OS X
I am on Chrome 12.0.742.122

#175I'm using NewsRack (which sync's with Google Reader), so implicitly I'm using Google Reader (just not it's web UI).

#177I used to use Google Reader, but I found that I missed seeing the original site and that I couldn't easily filter out stories I didn't want to read. So I built NewsBlur -- http://www.newsblur.com . It's open-source and I'd love if more folks followed my development: http://github.com/samuelclay . It's been a weekend project but it's been a wild ride so far. One of my main goals is to have much of the functionality of…
NewsBlur is awesome. I think it's the visual refresh that google reader needs. It also has a public documented API which is awesome. Google readers API users have to cobble together documentation of a private API. After a public API was promised years ago.
But one gripe, when is newsblur going to get google reader sync. As many have mentioned on this thread they like using google reader as the backend sync between many clients. There is already a issue in github.

About two-way sync: it wouldn't make sense. Since NewsBlur hides stories below your intelligence threshold, many stories would be unread in Reader but simply hidden in NewsBlur. That, and the whole story sync problem would be a huge bear. It comes down to NewsBlur being its own reader. The import from Google Reader is the only time NewsBlur talks to Reader.
I'm thinking about further integration with Google using Google Contacts (for a Email Story feature), but that's about it.
