Congrats on the funding and the new launch!
The article mentions that the product is freemium, but I don't see the upgrade options I remember seeing when I tried Newsblur a couple times earlier. Have you removed the paid version?

Otherwise, you can go to "Choose your 64 sites" under the Manage menu. We will make it clearer on the dashboard later today. Thanks for the very useful feedback!
Small bug report - When I connected my Google Reader account, the progress wheel in the popup window kept spinning indefinitely. If it didn't look so funky, I would have got bored sooner. Anyway, it imported my feeds fine when I reloaded the site, but I thought I should let you know about the glitch.
My personal belief is that if your users love what you've created, they will adopt it and then be happy to pay for it. In comparison, giving them multiple paid options at sign-up is kind off the wrong idea as your user has not had the chance to experience and understand your product.
Newsblur looks good; am going to give it a good try.
This could avoid scenarios where the user might be surprised later on. That's just what I think. I'm pretty sure you'll get mixed feedback on shoving/not shoving the pricing in the user's face.
