Reading your Feeds like newspaper with Feedly
Feedly is “a more social and magazine-like start page for Firefox”. It is a very well made and design application that really take the concept of homepage and RSS aggregation to the next level. They have social features like sharing, annotation and even twitter integration for each post.
But what interest me the most is the ability to do real-time summary of the most relevant content available on the web based on your interests, your reading patterns, and recommendations from your friends. In other words, you can see straightaway the hottest, latest post from your feeds.
After using it for a couple of weeks, I really enjoyed its clean design and functionality. I found myself using it more to do feed reading than Google Reader. The way Feedly organizes the post are far more natural to scan read a large amount of headlines and lead me to discover more interesting posts than before.
The coolest part of Feedly is that it doesn’t replace your beloved Google Reader. It actually integrate very well with it. All your read or star items are always synced that means you can use both to suite your needs.

I’ve searched for Feedly tips and tutorials with no joy… can you help?
1. I’d love to have more control over how items are displayed on the page
2. In the screenshot above,
