This is pretty good. Currently I use NetVibes, which is buggy and actually TOO customizable. I like the strict grid layout.
If you made this a service, here's what would make me switch:
- customizable feeds (kind of obvious I guess)
- ability to mark items as read/unread (link color is not enough - I want to skip some items, or just read them all from the blog itself without clicking individual items)
- have individual feed header be a link to the feed's main page (it's the <link> element in RSS)
- customize number of items per feed (e.g. I'd want more items for feeds which update frequently)
Nice to haves:
- tabs (I have LOTS of feeds - would be easier to manage instead of long scrolling)
- along with using the <link> element above, ability to override this, because I've noticed lots of feeds that don't set it properly (link to the domain root instead of the blog root, e.g.)
I currently use netvibes too.
to customize rss feeds.. i use Yahoo Pipes. You can provide bunch of feeds to pipes, then add custom filters, sorts, terms and generate a custom RSS address. Add this address to netvibes.
and with this process, you will hardly ever visit any of the homepages except netvibes.
