I do most of my blog-and-other-feed-reading in Thunderbird. It was counter-intuitive to set up, but it’s simple, functional and doesn’t require a lot of thought to use.

I know what you’re saying - but isn’t a ‘browser’ supposed to be just that? Search = Google, Browser = IE/FF/Flock and RSS = NNW/PulpFiction etc. All Internet activity doesn’t have to happen through a browser window - I don’t mind using more than one application.

Having said that, I think what you’re doing with Flock is taking a browser and making it into a Web Tool (need a better name than that though!) that allows people ‘Find - Read - Comment - Track’ through the various API’s for blogs, search and bookmarking. When Flock finds its feet and starts telling people it’s NOT A BROWSER I think it’ll have much more success - especially since you’re building an on-line app component as well as an installable one.

To be honest, i’ve been using the google homepage. I find that viewing everything in that manner helps me read the most the fastest.

I didn’t read the whole thing though, been busy all day. Sorry. I’ll probably re-comment or make a post about this because i think you people are on to something.

First off, I’m a noob, so take this for what it’s worth. (I tracked in via Flock Radio, BTW. I’ve been using Flock about a week and I love it.)

I’ve used NetNewsWire for about 18 months, and I’ve tried Firefox and Safari’s readers (and I absolutely agree with your assesment of those two). I have about 150 feeds in my NNW. What I’d really like is some powerful search capability *within* my feed stream. I don’t have time to wade through 150 feeds a day for interesting or important content.
