Today, we're going to talk about Recently Updated.

We think Recently Updated is the most important section in your sidebar, because that's where myReader tells you what's new since your last visit. As we were building myEarthLink Reader, our team agreed that one of the things we disliked about other news reader applications was the concept of Read and Unread Articles. For some of us news junkies, missing a day would mean you could have 500 or more "unread articles"! Yuck.

Our idea for Recently Updated is that we'll show you a list of all your sources and how many articles have updated since your last visit, but you don't have to slog through them all. Just pick and choose from the list of sources if you're in a hurry, or scroll down the page and peruse the articles if you've got some time. After a while, these are no longer recent updates in your world, and so we don't highlight them.

Since myEarthLink Reader is a brand new application, we'll be tweaking and adjusting features like how we decide what is Recently Updated for you. Our goal is to make it the best way to track your online sources. You can help us improve by giving us your feedback.
