make the internet “a more thoughtful, engaging and self-aware environment.”
I saw this line on a Zen Pencils comic. It was about Robert Ebert's blog, which I have not read yet. But it struck me as something that I pine for a lot.
Is there anything in your technical prowess that you could do to bring "thoughtful, engaging and self-aware" content to your readers?
Popular social networking sites have utterly failed at delivering this in my view. I don't know how it can be done better, but i see hope in the particular kind of people that support TOR ... people that see value in RSS feeds.

Allow us to sort in random order.
Instead of just "normal" and "reverse," it would be nice to be able to randomize the order in which items are displayed.

Convert any site into a RSS Feed
Before I make a subscription to the Old Reader, I have one question. Is it possible to use Old Reader to generate RSS feed from any source of website? I'd like to subscribe the Old Reader service forever if it can! Thanks !

Mark post as read in all feeds
There are some feeds that have the same post, and hence it is cumbersome to have it displayed over and over (for example new publication on arxiv.org). It would be very useful if a post that is marked as read is marked as read in all the feeds where it appears.

Add mechanism to modify feeds
It would be nice if we could modify the feeds contents after being retrieved. Some feeds like the ones from Youtube contain lots of information, but not in any place that's usable. I would like to be able to apply some XSLT to the entries to create a modified entry with the information I want.

Please Offer:Pay with Alipay for Premium Account
I am from China and willing to upgrade to premium account.
The problem is: I don't have a paypal account and I DO NOT want to create one.
Instead, why not you guys provide an additional option: Pay with Alipay from Alibaba?
According to Credit Suisse, the total value of online transactions in China grew from an insignificant size in 2008 to around RMB 4 trillion (US$660 billion) in 2012. Most of them are Alipay account holders.
OR please read this news on Market Watch on Feb. 2014:
Sorry PayPal: China’s Alipay is world’s No. 1

Please help ~

Bulk Edit: Mark as Unread/Read/Highlight Multiple Items
I would really love to be able to Ctrl or Shift Click to select multiple items in my feed (or even just use an old fashioned check box) so I could select either Mark as Read or Mark as Unread. I understand that you have chosen to limit the number of unread articles per account (though don't really understand why) but to stay on top of feeds, bulk editing is therefore very necessary. Others have suggested bulk actions, but marking unread is as important if you're going to artificially enforce "mark as read" on articles I haven't, actually, read!

Sort bookmarks by name of the channel from which they are added
Because when a large number of bookmarks in them difficult to navigate. And so it would be very easy to open bookmarks and see the channels marked with the news, and then expand the desired channel and access all bookmarks with this channel.

make it possible to link to original sharer when sharing other's people posts
Very frequently, I see people sharing items and posting in their comments something like "via Joe Smith". It would be nice (although maybe not easy) to have a way of automatically link to Joe Smith profile instead.

Highlight Current Spritz Word
When Sprtizing, the context of the word in the article gets lost. I don't know where in a paragraph I am, I don't know where in the article I am... I just lose so much context I have with "traditional" left/right scanning.
If the current Spritz word were highlighted, the speed benefits of Spritz would combine with the context of the article, helping me parse more information.

allow certain feeds to be imported as already read
I determine which posts to read by their read/unread status but I have a number of feeds which I don't need to read very often - I tend to let them accumulate and then browse through picking out the interesting stories. This means that my 'unread' total grows when, in fact, I have read everything that is currently interesting.
If I could set these feeds to import as already read, I would still know that they were there and go and check them periodically and my 'unread posts' would actually be the ones that I am interested in checking as…

Mute comments from selected users
Some people comment so frequently with such little substance that I would like to be able to mute that user such that "Commented" won't update/increment if they have left a comment. Unfollowing isn't the solution, as the Comments section will show updates if people you don't follow comment on something shared by people you do follow.
To simplify implementation, you could still retain that user's comments, but have them blanked out/obscured unless you "click here to show."

Unify the commenting system with other readers (such as Inoreader)
For a true global and distributed RSS community, today's main reader platforms could join to create a standard protocol for comment sharing.
This would enable them to "integrate" the comments for news items; for example: user A uses The Old Reader, and posts a comment on a news item (some slashdot article); user B, who uses Inoreader, when seeing this same news item in his viewer, is able to see the comments from user A, and to reply to them; the reply would also be visible in user A's feed.

I would like to be able to read Instapaper articles from within Old Reader (so I can use Spritz to read them).
I understand that you can send articles to Instapaper (if you are a Premium member) but I would also like to be able to read Instapaper articles from within Old Reader.
This is mainly so I can use Spritz to read them.
