I have a problem with Google Reader. I star a lot of interesting articles (thus marking them read) and forget about them. Why? Because it doesn't show how many of my starred items are really unread. And because I'm lazy.
After you star an item, click also "mark as unread". I have just tried this and the item shows up unread in "Starred items". There is also an unread count!

Yes, that's what I do, but I'd rather have the starred items show how many are unread like this: Starred Items (12)

Gmail also refuses to show an unread count for starred items... interesting.

I often tag items 'interesting' and then review that tag later. Auto fill speeds that up a bit.

I was marking items as read manually until I noticed that the stats weren't reporting any of them as read. It's annoying trying to keep something unread now.

Twitter/Friendfeed #comparisonmeme: 1943 tweets on Twitter in 14 months (215 following, 333 followers, 21 listed). 4520 comments & 3866 likes on Friendfeed in 9 months. Subbed to 901, 551 subbed to me.
My old twitter account got borked, so, at this point, there's no real comparison between my old Twitter account and my FriendFeed account. :( From what I can recall though: http://friendfeed.com/bigstar...

I'd do this but I have no clue how long I've been on either service.

My FriendFeed usage is way beyond my Twitter usage, though.

Interesting. How would this work for all the mobile and web/desktop twitter clients? I'm not sure what the percentage is, but I bet a fairly high proportion of twittering is done via these routes.
- Keith Bennett
Seems odd. How would you target links?
- Todd Hoff
Keith, I'm guessing any link that you send to Twitter - even an already-shorted link - via a client will be shortened by Twitter..?
