Pluck is a new web based RSS reader. They are several forms (
Firefox, IE, and web) but the simple
web based version is what is interesting to us.
It follows in the “application just via your browser” niche, like Yahoo! Mail.
It was pretty nice to use, but it didn’t like my OPML file. Probably too big so it freaked out? :)

I’m with Colin. I signed up for the web-based version, and picked a few of their “starter” feeds. There’s no AJAX at work here, so I’m not sure why it’s highlighted on this blog. Not only that, but it loads incredibly slowly (much slower than Bloglines). To compound the problem, there’s no way to mark articles/posts as read, and nothing that tells you how many unread articles/posts there are! Oh, did I mention it loads slowly? I was able to write almost this whole comment waiting for the ESPN.com feeds to show up. Let me go read the FOXSports feeds and waste another half a minute waiting for it to load.
I like a lot of the sites that are featured here, so I thought, Hey! An AJAX blog reader! That’s awesome!
Nothing but dissappointment. Good thing I gave Pluck my spam email address…
Can’t agree more. PLUK is a piece of junk. Get “Sage” and use Firefox, you’ll be sooo much happier!

Web based version of Pluck has nothing to do with AJAX. Its JS treelist loads the whole page when you open a sub node. Creating a tree list that does not refreshes the whole page was common many years ago. So why did you mention this link here?

Problem with RSS Feed in WordPress.
I have a subdomain that I installed wordpress for another blog site, but the subdomain site's rss feed points to my parent site.
Can anyone come up with any suggestions?
I agree PLuk is no good.
Great site and great informaiton provided. Good Luck!
Is anyone still using pluck?
I think i might try this with http://www.lookcut.com/articles/ weight loss articles RSS feed.
