Thanks Stan, and thanks for the suggestions and fixes.

The way I like to use Rovr is to set the tray to preview (slide in by itself) for posts newer than a week. I don’t like to keep it locked so the tray is always on. I also make the tray wide enough that I can some of the post summary in it, rather than just the icon for the blog it comes from.

Then I “block” stories I have already seen or don’t care about, and after a while I’m caught up on the sites I always come back to. We could put a “block all” button, but we wanted to keep it as simple as possible. We’ll certainly take your and other’s feedback into account.

BTW, if you’re reading any blog that you find interesting, you can add it to rovr at a click from the toolbar dropdown.

@Marc: thanks for the clarification, I must admit that I’ve misunderstood the concept slightly. I’ll fix it in the post.

Thanks for the review.
A clarification here on one very important issue.
BlogRovr brings you ALL the posts linking to the site you’re visiting from ALL the blogs YOU choose. Its not about us indexing some and not other blogs. You choose what blogs you like, and that’s what we deliver to you.

Rovr’s service does a real-time personalized search through any feeds you’ve told us about for blog posts about the page you’re on.

You can also “block” posts so they won’t show up again to disturb you, for example the netvibes thing. But then, when Arrington posts about netvibes once more, you will see it.

Hope that this makes things a bit clearer.
