So I've finally gotten around to trying out Google Reader alternatives, and I'm digging The Old Reader pretty well but it doesn't look like I can combine feeds to make a new feed to export. I don't think Feedly does that either. Do any other readers do this one very nice thing?

OMG, commafeed just imported all my feeds in about a minute and kept them in their beautiful beautiful folders. And my keyboard shortcuts work as expected.

Sigh. Signed up, but I'd not thought about the fact that I've been using Feedly for a while now...so it's gone nuts trying to import and refresh all (more than 9,000) posts since the last time I used Greader. I just disconnected it. My own damn fault. Maybe a good alternative. (Never got to where I could see any controls, however: just odd random symbols on buttons.)

can you share a single blog post entry via email in commafeed? you can't do that in old reader and it makes me sad.

I did a short list of (gold) OA vs subscription journals for Chemistry once. I think I grabbed the top x by impact factor from SciMago, then looked each one up in DOAJ - was basically to show that there are a bunch of high impact OA places to publish in. The obvious flaw to the approach was that it wasn't very balanced in terms of subdisciplines. Plus it was manual so doing it for lots of disciplines would be a nuisance.
