Dear Aunt TUAW: RSS in the clouds

Dear Auntie TUAW,

I’ll admit it… I’m a news junkie. Podcasts, RSS feeds, the works!

RSS feeds are what I am wondering about today. You see, I like to skim my RSS headlines, read the feed items that catch my eye, and not have any items automatically delete or disappear. My current setup is using Mail’s RSS functionality and then manually deleting the articles I don’t want. I’m fine with that, heck, … I prefer it that way. But ever since I got my shiny, new iPad, I’ve been wondering if there is a better way. See, I like to read RSS feeds on my morning and evening commutes. (Don’t worry, Auntie, … I take the train.) Hence, my problem. I read and delete or read and save an article on my iPad, but then I have to manually reconcile my feeds with those on my home computer.

Ideally, what I’d like to do is have an RSS client “in the cloud” and then be able to access it from my iPad, my Mac, and maybe even my work computer and my BlackBerry. Basically have it function like an IMAP-push mail server, if you get my drift. I checked out Google Reader, but it seems lacking. Any suggestions?

Hugs and snuggles!

Erik
