The way I (and I reckon most of NNW users) use the app is to first read all items in the main window, sometimes selecting an interesting post by double-clicking its title or simply typing Enter (in “combined view” it then opens it as a tab in the background, so you can continue parsing items and later browse your selected tabs in their full glory in what is essentially Safari embedded in NNW).http://www.pailike.cn/ First, I think you’re not used enough to NNW ;-).

The whole point of social capital and social browsing is so that you're presented with up-to-date information, and if the information is irrelevant, why shouldn't the system be intelligent enough to know you have and haven't been to?

Wouldn't opening the page as a new tab rather than double clicking or changing the result of double clicking to that handle the problem? That would be a plugin with some pretty large security implications and many corporate websites tend to frown on things that do that. Why circumvent one small issue by creating multiple issues in need of circumventing? Feeds within browsers tend to be more of a convenience feature rather than an omnipresent data monitor.

Yep, nice to have those computers do a lot more than they currently do but it's not trivial. First, I think you're not used enough to NNW ;-). The way I (and I reckon most of NNW users) use the app is to first read all items in the main window, sometimes selecting an interesting post by double-clicking its title or simply typing Enter (in "combined view" it then opens it as a tab in the background, so you can continue parsing items and later browse your selected tabs in their full glory in what is essentially Safari embedded in NNW). Then, on many "prolific" feeds I read, I sometimes double-click on the feed title in the feeds list to open their home page (effectively marking all unread items as read in that feed). Lastly, (same as above) I sometimes go directly to the site and read what's on the home page, for those sites that publish their entire posts and not just an excerpt. I would click on a particular permalink only if I want to read the comments and/or react. In this case, you would not have any indication of what I've effectly read since I don't necessarily have to (need to, want to...) click on each post URL to read it. Nice idea, but unpractical as it seems... Not sure I’m following you on everything. Yep, nice to have those computers do a lot more than they currently do but it’s not trivial.
