    Thank you for taking the time to right such a detailed review!

    As usual, there is a great parallel conversation happening on friendfeed:

    @kenlefeb: Here is a tip: if you are a big annotator, try the ALT+CLICK on an image to capture images.

    Wow, this is a really strong new product. And it is super-fast. I am impressed. Plus, even with all the stuff you covered here, I am suspecting there are a bunch of easter eggs still waiting to be found. Thanks for breaking this!

    Louis, Feedly looks like a very interesting and useful service. The ability to discover new feeds and content based on one's reading habits stand out for me.

    I just don't know where one can find the time to do all this, plus FriendFeed, plus Twitter, plus whatever else.

    When I visited the Feedly site, my first question was, "Where am I going to find the time to properly check this out?"

    Without careful time management, online social interaction can easily become an all-consuming activity, at the expense of other very important 3D life activities.

    Fantastic! Very thorough as always Louis. They seem to have a great set of features a slick looking UI. Going to check it out right now!

    P.S. Love the Toluu screenshot and note :)

    This is excellent. I've always disliked Google Reader's user interface, but me and Feedly is like love at first sight, only with RSS involved.

    The look is slick!

    Thanks, Louis! This is a great find!

    I'm a huge annotator, and Google Reader notes just doesn't cut it for me! I like to share a lot, but I don't like to just forward stuff without adding some value to it, so I'm looking forward to seeing how Feedly fits into my routine...

    I have been searching for a better way to handle my feeds and this seems to be it. The fact that it behaves based on what I seem to like is probably the biggest feature for me. I have several feeds in Google Reader that I will probably never get to.

    I love how my post ties in with my favourite chocolate bar. Regardless, I also think Feedly and other similar services are fantastic, my only complaint is that they all are tied int GR. Yes, GR is the 800 lb gorilla, but I wish things were more open and flexible.

    I live in FeedDemon and I'm no't likely to give it up. FeedDemon syncs with NewsGatorOnline ... so why not build hooks into that and Bloglines. Wouldn't that build a larger feed and information ecosystem?

    Great job doing so detailed reviews. Looks like AP may soon comes up with another trouble if this "magazine style content sharing platform" becomes famous.

    Checking this out as I type. Who else would I expect to deliver us the news but you, Louis =)

    Currently using feedly. Love it. Wish they would develop something for Chrome and also more importantly for mobile users.
