Ask LH: How Can I Remove Multiple Stars In Google Reader?

Lifehacker AU

Dear Lifehacker, Got a quick question you guys might be able to help with. I’ve got a bit of a build-up of starred items on my Google Reader account. I use Byline on the iPhone & iPad and check the Google Reader site regularly and hence the starred items seem to build up quickly. I’ve Got a nice chunk of items built up at the moment and I’ve been looking at the web interface trying to find a way to remove all or even multiple starred items at once, but the only way I can find it to get rid of each stared item one-by-one. There’s got to be an easier way… right? Thanks, Starry-Eyed

Read-it-later services like Instapaper and Read It Later both help solve that problem, but rather than signing up for yet another service, you can actually turn your Google Reader account into a personalised read-it-later archive.
