I am a big fan of both Bloglines and Google News. They are the means by which I make my living: the edge I get in providing my readers with up-to-date news.

Now, I gather news in a variety of ways: Google News, Yahoo News, Technorati Search, Technorati Tags, Feedster, PubSub to name a few. Google News provides me with the most relevant "news" pieces for my blogs.

However, I have one main beef about Google News/Bloglines. If no "new" news has appeared since my last check of the feed, it will update the feed as "new" and show me all the stuff I’ve already read. Sometimes with mixed up timestamps. However, it’s inconsistent. Sometimes there are a few new ones and 20 old ones. Why does it do this?

This is annoying to me because I’d love to just click on an entire folder and read it through - it’s all new, and I need to read it all anyway. However, I go feed by feed just so I can eliminate having to scroll down tons of stuff I’ve already reviewed.

So - whether it’s Bloglines or Google News or both, please find a way to fix it. Thanks!
