Hi, I had the same kind of problem (added to the fact that I find newsreader so slow). So instead of using the google news reader I decided to use rss2email to receive each blog post as an email in an imap folder sync with mbsync. It works for me. -- Nicolas Évrard | Web: http://www.openhex.com Liège - Belgique

I, personally, use rss2email to read rss feeds via my existing email infrastructure. I can read the rss anywhere I can get at my email from (which is anywhere with a web-browser, thanks to webmail) and as my email is accessed via imap the 'read' status is also maintained centrally on my mail server. -- Laurence Hurst loz.hurst@gmail.com The contents of this email are strictly confidential and intended for the named addressee only.

I read feeds on both home and work, and this is my preferred method to do it. I think it's the simpler way to centralize what you've read and what not.
I choose Google Reader, but maybe are others like this out there. The bad news is that google knows even more about myself, but i believe i can afford it.

NNTP and RSS on multiple computers is just a special case

While it is definitely true that one wastes time on multiple computers, and NNTP and RSS suffer the same problem, so do most other programs. There has been a push lately for bookmark sharing (usually through something like del.icio.us), email sharing (IMAP), calendar sharing, and contact sharing (several protocols for this, but none is exactly "standard"), there's no general solution for "sharing all the data I might need". Personally, I find that by keeping my $HOME in subversion, I can synchronize my .newsrc, just by checking the .newsrc into my repository just like everything else. An RSS reader's list of read messages would just be another config file to check in to my repository. Now, when one checks a config file into a version control system, there is a small matter of reconciling conflicts, where we could stand to do a lot better. However, having solved the general problem, the specific problem of avoiding conflicts with a specific application can always be solved by adjusting your working habits to commit and update when moving computers, if no more automatic and permissive solution can be found. --Ken -- Ken (Chanoch) Bloom.

That's why I use Google reader. OK, It's not _the_ reader, and someone may say (most surely correctly) that that gives Google more data, but for now it's a tradeoff :-(

This is why I finally bit the bullet and started using Google Reader. Offline operation is a bit painful, though. Marius Gedminas -- Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. -- Rich Kulawiec

If you were the only person worrying about dealing with only one machine then ask yourself: What then is the point behind IMAP or Webmail?! :) My solution to this problem was to use Unison (like rsync, but designed to sync both ways). Not ideal, but it worked as long as I remembered to run it when I logged out and/or when I logged in.
