I prefer to have all my news updates in one place. As I'm using Twitter only passively, I don't have an account and just added the RSS feeds of the few users I'm following to Google Reader. I've also added my YouTube RSS feed so I can see the new uploads of my subscriptions too.

I'm exclusively using Reeder for Mac and iOS. When I add a new feed, all the recent uploads and tweets are displayed. But from that moment on, I don't get any updates. To make sure it's no problem with Reeder, I just logged into the GR web interface. This is where it gets strange.

As for YouTube: Apart from the older ones, it shows me six new videos - and all items have the same posting date, which is the exact time when I just logged into GR. Of course those videos were not uploaded just now. I refreshed Reeder then, and suddenly they're there.

As for Twitter: It does show me all the tweets since I added the feed, but they're all marked as read. I've never seen them, though. The posting date of the first half of them is October 16th, which I assume is the date I've added the feed. There's one tweet from the day after, and the rest is all from today, 14:03 o'clock, which of course isn't true either.

What is going on here? Does anyone have similar issues?

I've used Reeder extensively in the past on iOS without these problems. Have you tried using another RSS feed (from a blog for example) to see if you get the same problem? I stopped using Reeder as it was too slow for the number of feeds I have. I use Mr Reader on the iPad now. – Julian Knight Nov 3 '12 at 22:08

Based on the Twitter FAQ the solution is:
