You might be seeing a little bit of strange behavior happening. In order to save on the mounting costs, we decided to archive all of the data older than a month. The easiest way to clear up the mess is to do a ‘Mark All As Read’.

Speed enhancements and reduced costs, yay!
You might notice that some of the loading has sped up today. While work on this side project has become minimal (at best) I did discover some ways to improv performance while I was working on ways to drastically reduce the hosting costs – and what you have there, boys and girls, is a win-win!
Happy Reading
Well, not so stable.
Working through some new troubles. Status: unknown.
How’s your day going?
Hopefully well.
Just wanted to put out an update. The site seems fairly stable now and the database of users/blogs/posts is ever growing.
Updates have slowed down due to projects that pay, and will likely be a once-a-week occurrence for now. Gonna tackle the number one feature request next: Search. For some reason, other sites seem to thing that’s a huge undertaking. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I can tackle it in a day! Ambitious, yes, but I do have some background in search… stay tuned.
Holiday Technical Issues
Sorry folks, we are experiencing some technical issues and the holiday celebrations are slowing the fixing. We’ll be back up as soon as possible.
Happy 4th!

Cheers, MGMT
NEW: Import your Google Reader starred items!
Are you kidding me? We added this tonight too!?
You can get to the importer from the ‘Manage Subscriptions’ dropdown, which takes you to http://redtreereader.com/home/starred
Organize your subscriptions!
You spoke, and we listened. Now, from the ‘Manage Subscriptions’ dropdown, you can go to the ‘Organize subscriptions…’ page.
On this page you can, reorder/rename your feeds and folders, unsubscribe feeds, create folders and find nirvana.
A couple other things:
- The ‘read all’ image is gone.
- There are now ‘Collapse All’, ‘Show All’ and ‘Show Unread’ options for your list of subscriptions.
- I love scotch.
Introducing the Anonymous Democratic Feature Suggestion System

In an effort to keep track of all of the suggestions, as well as, having a way to prioritize the requests, we have created a feature suggestion system that let’s create and vote on suggestions going forward.
Cheers!
