What RSS reader do you use, and what does it lack?

Reeder (www.reederapp.com), having tried many and stopped reading any RSS feeds for a good while because I got too frustrated with them all. It's a front-end to Google Reader, which I really didn't enjoy using.

Main thing I'd like is the smarts to filter out stories which are essentially the same, but perhaps not exactly the same.

Oh, and if I bookmark/star something, then next time the same story comes up, highlight that I've already seen it, or even suppress it.

Some sort of ML/Bayesian filtering to determine which items are duplicates and know which site I prefer getting my news from (e.g. engadget over slashgear.)

I've been wanting to implement this into Vienna for years now, but time and OBJ-C knowledge has been the main barriers.

Reederapp guy, if you are listening, please add this to Reeder as it really is the perfect interface bar this one feature.

Yes please!! This is the feature I always find myself wanting. (Using Akregator / Kontact in KDE.) So many stories are duplicated at various stories that the ability to hide all but one where the target URL is the same would save lots of time.

Hey Taki, I've wanted that feature too and we built that into our social news site called The Shared Web (www.thesharedweb.com). The content is pulled from Twitter or posted by other people on the site and aggregated by URL. We'll be looking into pulling directly from sources so you can follow RSS feeds too soon. Would love to know if it works for you.
