The Reader workflow never really worked for me. I just ended up with a big bold "unread" number counting all the posts I'd never get round to reading.

In the end I rolled my own thing (http://www.mailfeed.io) which checks feeds once a day and emails me a list of all new posts. Really simple, and nothing to make me feel guilty about not keeping up.

I kinda did exactly the same. Rolled my own: http://www.weegeeks.com

It doesn't keep a history of feeds, just what's in the feed right now. That way I don't get backlogged.

I don't recommend anyone use it though, it's very tailored to my lightweight requirements. It's actually got about 200+ registered users, but only one of those (other than me) is active...
