RSS Feeds in Safari

I am trying to go back to Safari after having used Firefox (with Google Reader) for quite some time.

I am finding it frusting that I can't "save" RSS articles for later in Safari without bookmarking them, the way you can in Google Reader with the "star" button.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an app that will let me temporarily "scrapbook" feeds/links without adding them to my Safari bookmarks? Or -- should I just go back to Firefox? (I am leaning towards the latter, or possibly Camino)

I use NetNewsWire. www.newsgator.com
The app will sync with NewsGator which I sometimes find useful. I also use Camino.

Other than "doing things the Apple, Inc. way," why not continue to use Google Reader in Safari? Heck, Google Reader is what got me back into using RSS after I went on a 6+ month fast. I moved away from using NetNewsWire, to Firefox "Live Bookmarks", to using Google Reader. I not only have the ability to "Star" items for later digestion, but I can access Greader from any browser I'm using, whatever platform. (Firefox, Camino, & Safari on OS X... and Firefox on Windows.)

Just my $0.02

I use newsgator as well. It lets you save individual items so you can go back and check them again, even after marking them as read.

Generally what I do, though, is use http://toread.cc to send myself any page I want to review in more detail later.

I agree however, there are a bugs that annoy me with Safari and G-Reader. The left-pane "jiggles" (moves & resizes) when scrolling. It also scrolls the window when you reach then end of the feed list.

I didn't know about this before and I love it.

I don't know what you mean by scrapbook feeds, but I use Vienna and love it. It's free by the way, but I'd pay for it if it wasn't.
