I pulled a few screen caps from bing for expediency's sake. The UI is very spartan, lots of whitespace, minimal chrome (UI busy-ness is what drove me away from Newsblur), and it's fast. One complaint is the large amount of whitespace when reading the story but it's tolerable. They aren't monetizing yet, unless they are it's via data aggregating (highly likely I guess) but there are no ads. I'd like to hear what the long term plans are.
Another user pointed to bazqux.com which has a similarly clean UI but with the added bonus of pulling in comments which would be a nice time saver. And the are upfront about charging for the product which makes me feel a little better about long term prospects. I'll probably put it through the paces speed wise and see if I want to migrate one last time.
Thanks. I signed up. It has some UI issues but I can live with that. Reader wasn't perfect in the UI either. I think I like Digg Reader better than TOR.
