it probably depends on why and how you're reading feeds.

If you're feeds are organized by topics, which are relevant only to moments in your day; then it makes sense.

Say ,you're an organized market intelligence specialist, who uses feeds to keep tab on competition, customers and the market in general, but who also likes to garden during the weekend, and who's a fan of new web 2.0 apps. You probably won't be reading the 'All items' list, but the three folders separately when the time is right.

If, like me, you're just an information freak, you just gulp down posts as they come ... ;o)

It's odd, but based on our beta group, feed-by-feed is actually the use case for about 80% of GoogleReader users. We were really surprised as well. Second runner up was folder views, and last one was 'all items'.

Not sure what to attribute this distribution to, but it's definitely an interesting one.

Thanks for the quick support!

I hope you'll get it ready soon, otherwise I'm afraid your addon is sorta useless ... who reads feed by feed?

Ilya Grigorik replied on April 03, 2008 11:12 to the question "Install not working" in AideRSS:

Yup, that's expected behavior. Having said that, it's on top of our list in terms of 'next feature to enable'. :)

Barthox replied on April 03, 2008 11:06 to the question "Install not working" in AideRSS:

it does seem to be working better indeed!

Thanks for the reply!

But the 'All Items' view does not seem to be using it. Is it normal?

Ilya Grigorik replied on April 03, 2008 10:46 to the question "Install not working" in AideRSS:

Barthox, even if we didn't have a feed indexed the fist time you opened it, next time you come back, it should be in our system.

Are you seeing PostRank's of 1.0? And if so, what are the URLs of some of the feeds you're seeing this behavior for?

Barthox replied on April 03, 2008 10:18 to the question "Install not working" in AideRSS:

I just realized that the GreaseMonkey IS working ... but for some few feeds, not for all

Apparently, only popular blogs' feeds show it ...

samething here!

I also tried the GreaseMonkey script, but I have no idea how toinstall it ...

Matthew, ping me (ilya _at_ aiderss.com) with your email and I'll send you the new Greasemonkey script.

We're working on a fix for the xpi.

Just wanted to add that I am using FF 2.0.0.13 and don't have Greasemonkey installed and the extension isn't working -- I reinstalled it hoping there was a new version, but when I go to Google Reader nothing happens and there's no AideRSS post-rank number beside the star. I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 if that helps.

As normal, I access Google Reader directly via the navigation toolbar of FFox. I just re-installed and restarted FFox. Same negative results.
Thank you for your support.

Are you accessing Google Reader by going to <http://reader.google.com> or some other endpoint?

There was a bug with some other endpoints that should be fixed in the very-newest (as of 2 minutes ago) version.

simoko replied on April 01, 2008 21:09 to the question "Install not working" in AideRSS:

I have the same problem: installed AideRSS, restarted Firefox 2.x, restarted GReader and nothing happens.
Of course I have several add-ons but no Greasemonkey.

Stephen Paul Weber replied on April 01, 2008 18:50 to the question "Install not working" in AideRSS:

Users have reported this working on Firefox 3 - but it has not been officially tested there.

sirpingalot replied on April 01, 2008 18:49 to the question "Install not working" in AideRSS:

Does this work on Firefox 3 Beta version? I don't have greasemonkey installed, but when I navigate to google reader it doesn't seem to ask for my activation code. And nothing seems to work

Yes, that is the unfortunate case just now. We are actively working to correct this misfeature.

carlat replied on April 01, 2008 17:19 to the question "Install not working" in AideRSS:

So reading back through this - I should disable Greasemonkey entirely while using the extension?

carlat replied on April 01, 2008 17:13 to the question "Install not working" in AideRSS:

Okay, so I turned off greasemonkey, entered the activation code, and all appeared well. Now I've turned greasemonkey back on, restarted Firefox and nothing's showing up in GReader.
