[omaha] FeedJack

[Jeff Hinrichs - DM&T]

Mike and Matthew -- Thanks for getting the ball rolling on this.   Annoyed
that goog is dropping my favorite tool outside of search, I've been
grimacing.

I think you both have the right idea about getting out from under the
services yolk of some 3rd party (in this case goog) [They ripped out the
social features from Reader when G+ came on line, and now the are saying --
oooooh users have fallen off.  B*st*rds] {can you sense me not getting I/O
tickets yesterday too?}

attributes in a good reader --

* keeps feed updated when you are away.  RSS only shows X previous stories,
so if you are off line you'll have a gap unless the backend fetches on a
regular basis for you.
* ability to "star" an an entry -  for easier recall
* search
* share
* desktop and phone  UI
* multi-device access with read tracking.


Best,

Jeff
