RSS reader

I have been using Liferea for quite a while. But lately I have been very tired if its bugs. Memory leaks (I fixed several) and most importantly constant locks up (apparently due to the use of Gecko).
So I gave a try to Google Reader.
The bad
- First, all my data are not belong to Google.... even though it these feed don't belong to me either.
- It does not handle article UUIDs. So if you syndicate planets with rss or atom, you'll read dupes. Liferea manages to do that almost properly.
The good
- It is online so I get it from any of my computers
I think at that point the benefits outperform the inconvenience. I might do the switch. Maybe when WebKit is ready, I'll switch back. Maybe not.
