MyFeedz – Should This Really Be Called a Feed Reader?

I saw a few posts about MyFeedz yesterday and checked it out, and I noticed Robert just gave Myfeedz a test. He is a hardcore feed reader, so I value his opinion (even though we don’t always agree on everything).
I think Robert is being extremely polite about MyFeedz
