    Newsblur is fantastic - handles the simple task of keeping track of many feeds very well. Also has many features, like multiple methods of displaying posts, training it to highlight the posts that matter most, lots of organization & filtering methods, etc.

    Integrated sharing and threaded commenting. Because it's a paid service, it doesn't share / sell your personal information, good mobile apps and compatibility with third-party apps.
