NewsBlur is a personal news reader bringing people together to talk about the world . Stories are pushed directly to you, so you can read news as it comes in. Read the content in context, the way it was meant to be seen. Reading news is better with friends. Share stories on your public blurblog. Hide the stories you don't like and highlight the stories you do.
Inoreader and NewsBlur are both free online news aggregators and RSS readers. They are accessible via a web interface but also have mobile apps for iOS and Android. They support integration with external services such as IFTTT, allow to bookmark articles, share them and organize them with tags or categories.
But Inoreader (released in 2013) is a Bulgarian service that offers more advanced feature set. In particular, it's known for search options, including searching by articles and subscriptions (even in the free plan). Inoreader integrates with much more services (Evernote, OneNote, Instapaper, Dropbox, Google Drive, Telegram, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, IFTTT, Zapier), supports offline mode, themes, annotations, article translation and text-to-speech. It has a more flexible and customizable interface with hotkeys. Inoredaer provides a paid version that gives access to an extensive news database from Google and Facebook, the ability to monitor keywords, a powerful automation system: you can create rules, send push notifications, filter them by specified criteria.
NewsBlur (2009) is an American service that is also an open-source project, so you can install it on your server. It supports intelligent filtering (the user can "train" the service to hide unwanted stories and highlight the ones they like), provides the option of reading articles in the original design of the source-website, can track changes in the publication history. The free version is limited by the number of feeds, update frequency and, most importantly, it displays only the text that is in the feed (the Premium version has full text, additional features for discovering related stories, sorting news articles by tags)
