I’m not sure actually whether it’s a matter of speed or something else, but it takes more than an hour for Bloglines (or the underlying Netvibes) to pull in the feeds, which in this day and age is woefully slow. I just find myself going to the original services, which defeats the purpose…

Sorry, I mixed it up with Newsblur. But how does Feedly make money? I’m just a bit reluctant to give them access to my Google account, without them explaining it first what they’ll be doing with that access (and my data)... Too paranoid?

Well, I did find some answers but it doesn’t quite put my mind at ease:
“At account creation time, we create a profile and import your user id, your nickname and email. This allows users to search and find other users and follow their recommendations.
(...)
During reading time, we capture how many articles from a source a user reads, recommends or tweet from feedly. This allows us to understand which sources you like best and better showcase articles from those sources in the digest and cover. When someone follows you in feedly/google reader, they only see the articles you have shared.
(...)
In feedly, we decided to try to start by replicating the flickr model and all items shared or annotated are automatically available to the entire feedly community.”

I’d just prefer a very plain vanilla online RSS reader with no social networking stuff (with aggregation - which unfortunately rules out Protopage). I don’t mind being advertised to, in exchange for not having to hand over my Google account info.

Has anyone found replacement for Oema Pro from Jetbrains? What is the hot PIM that will do as much as it would? Thanks. Natt.
