Ditto. My #1 source is feedproxy.google.com -- not very helpful.

Shouldn't be too hard for BlogRollr to extract at least the feed source from http://www.google.com/reade...

Ouch you are so right

I listed them in another comment to this post. I left out hacker news and real clear politics though as other's pointed out

I think www.jessicasarawilson.com should step up to number 2....work on that one.

other than techmeme, what other smart aggregators do you use?

Techcrunch writes things that are not true and they don't care that they do that. I think that's a problem and they should stop doing that

This is a really great list, I really like TechCrunch, don't know why you are so hard on it. Anyone can post their own top ten list to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list. Thanks for narrowing it down to 30.

I love it when my blog breaks stuff!!!

So the widget is broken on the home page (and this individual post) because of a css ID issue. We're looking into ways that this can be fixed. For now, though, you can just click into another of Fred's posts to see it in action. Any other questions, problems, or suggestions, don't hesitate to email me. cameron@blogrollr.com

Yep, that seems to be the problem. The widget's fine on other avc posts (when they'e being viewed in full), but is messed up on this one, and on the homepage (since the second widget is visible in the lead part of the post on the homepage).

There, my random act of testing is done for the day :)

Except for some edge cases, the extension should track the stuff that you are reading in your Google Reader.
We will be working on other popular readers in the future.

I noticed that too

It was working fine but I might have messed it up by putting the same widget in two places on the same page

FYI Fred, unless 'Most viewed' and 'Recent' are genuinely the same (doesn't seem as though it can be the case, since I understood 'recent' to be about specific posts) there's a problem with the operation of the tabs (in all the browsers), as there's no change as you flick between them (infact, the tabs in the sidebar version of the widget don't appear to be active).

Infact, think I'd change the tabs to 'Top blogs' and 'Recent reads' to clarify what's behind each one.

Nice data though. And thoroughly agree re Broadstuff. Great content that Alan churns out.

I like to read on the web, not in a reader

Re: Blogrollr Two Months Later - My Top Ten

I read hacker news daily

Just forgot about it

I don’t use RSS readers

I prefer smart aggregators

+1 on the reader integration...this is the first time I can recall in the last few weeks that I've actually gone to a blog directly, I consume everything through GReader.

Interestingly your last post was all about aggregators...why not one for RSS? (your comment below says you don't use one). I don't comment much, which I thought might be your reason?

Where is Hacker News? RSS?
