I'm building a client app that syncs with Google Reader and after having
understood the basics of getting lists of posts and setting tags I was
wondering how to sync my client-side repository with the one online.
Specifically, which is the best way to get updates on what the user read
online?

Imagine I use my client and download 100 new items.
I mark a few of them (let's say 7) as read then I quite the app. I still
have 93 items.

I open the app again, I ask for all the new items after the last time I
synced my app (to avoid downloading again all the old items). And I get 15
new items. Now I have 108 items.
I close the app again.

For some reason I go the google reader online, and I mark 50 items as read.

I go back to the client app: how can I know 50 items have been read if I
just ask for the updates to the reading list?
Or should I always use the stream/id to get all the reading list (without
using the last updated field) and then purge the local repository from the
ids that are in the list anymore?

What do you guys do? What do you recommend?

Thank you
Simone
