Revisited Google Reader to use as Twitter watcher

These are my Twitter feeds via Google Reader. Just imported James’ Twitter OPML file and added some new Twitter links of other Irish people I know. Viewing them via that Grazr Widget is painful. I prefer this method, til I come up with something a little better.

I expected Google Reader to be better with all the hype. The scroll, refresh, scroll, refresh, scroll refresh is beyond annoying. It’s nasty UI design. Is there a way of fixing it? The tagging/labeling is also still shit. Really surpised people like this over bloglines.

  1. Have you tried the full-page, three-pane version of Grazr as well?

  2. Cool idea. I can’t keep up with all the new Irish twitter users but if I’ve left out anyone who’d like to be added please let me know.

    BTW, I know that slider view in Grazr isn’t to everyone’s taste but there are two alternatives which are more like conventional feed reading views – 3-Pane and Outline. You can change the view from the View menu. If neither of those are satisfactory please describe how we might offer a better view. Any feedback is appreciated.

    Couldn’t agree more.
