For me, Firefox's live bookmarks is much quicker and easier to get to the info I want (as long as the titles are descriptive enough.) How is the RSS feed in a ful page any different than going to the site? IE7 has this implemented as well so it makes me wonder the viability of such programs/sites. To each their own I guess.

Yes - it is a bit rough - but then these guys have bootstrapped it and are looking for funding at a point where they have something to show for their efforts. May not meet the 'instant gratification' factor applied by some, but it's the personalisation that hooked me. It's the sort fo thing that would work for the enterprise.

From the picture Michael posted, it looks like a clean design. My issue with the current state of RSS is readers is they are too “geek” centric. Maybe with the introduction of IE7, MyYahoo and other mainstream readers, readers such as Feeds 2.0 and Bloglines feel their only chance to survive is by going after the more tech savvy demographic interested in consuming astronomic amounts of data. If this is not the case and their intent IS to capture a larger market share, readers need to stick to the river of news view (Michael, I know you prefer folder based, but I am sorry to say you fall under the former demographic), do away with panes and make their relevancy algorithms more transparent. BUT as I stated, if their intent is to go after content whores (I consider myself one), then yes Feeds 2.0 seems like a step in the right direction.
