I have been using Bloglines for a few weeks now, and I have noticed some quirks in the frequency of its refresh rate on some blogs. All I am looking for is a blog reader that I can use at work and at home but that will stay synchronized at both. After trying for a while to find another option, I decided today to try out Pluck. It works in Firefox, which is a definite plus, and it synchronizes like I want it to. It also allows web access to your account, which you can use if you out of town or something.

After installing the extension I imported my blogs and tried to use Pluck. The problem is that it is interminably slow. I ended up waiting for 5 minutes or more to get one page of blog summaries to load, and I finally gave up. Regardless of the reason for the horrible speed, I am not happy with the service at all. That is not what I expected when I signed up for a new service.

Does anyone know of a good blog reader that does what I want it to?
