Ofcourse, bloglines also has nifty ‘j’/'k’ vim-style navigation, and many other shortcuts. It’s had them for a while now, also with nifty AJAX scrolling :)

You should have seen how many unread items I had after 5 months of not reading…

Anyway, the new Google reader (the first release sucked) solves the read/unread problem pretty well: it serves up the stories in a list of headlines, and you navigate them javascript-style with j and k. When an item is “highlighted”, it expands and reveals the body of the story.

I’m not suggesting that you switch to Google Reader, but this AJAX-type solution is pretty nice.
