Sync your Google Reader, Newsgator feeds with RSS Bandit
Here's how it works. You download and install the open source application, and then click the File menu and select Synchronize Feeds. Pick your service and enter your login information and RSS Bandit will import your feed list in a matter of seconds. Any actions you take using the desktop reader should then be reflected at your online feed reader. You can mark items as reader, unread, or shared. And you can subscribe to feeds or remove feeds using RSS Bandit and the changes should apply to your online account.
At least that's the theory. In practice, we're still waiting for our changes to show up in Google Reader. We read a few items, unsubscribed from a feed, and over an hour later Google Reader is showing no sign that it's noticed. This is still Alpha software, so it's possible speedier updates could come at a later date.
RSS Bandit 1.7 Alpha also adds a new podcast download manager.

Dare, I think it's great that you're offering to help. I'd also love to see a comment posted with any information on whether you were able to help. This software sounds compelling, but if it really takes 1+ hours to sync with Google Reader, I'll probably just stick with reading it online. Thanks, though, for offering your help.
