Google Reader Needs Filters | Not So Relevant

The Problem

As I mentioned above, it’s great to read interesting articles. Though being subscribed to more than 400 feeds means a lot of articles are marked unread when opening Google Reader again. If you – like me – can’t check your feed reader for several hours this is especially true. So some filters are required to cope with the vast number of unread articles because you don’t want to miss articles that are relevant to you, do you?

I feel with this blog author...

If you follow many blogs and news sites, you get hundreds of articles in your Google Reader. Many of them are duplicates, duplicates by subject or because the articles is shared and your subscribed to the original.

Google knows how-to index content, please provide a great filter!

RSSCloud Vs. PubSubHubbub (what about feedburner?)

In the past few months, a lot of attention has been given to the rise of the real-time web.  The problem is that the web wasn’t designed with real-time in mind.  There is a huge need for the tech community to get behind new protocols that will power this fundamental shift in how web applications work.  Today I want to take a look at two of the leading protocols that enable real-time notifications on the web.  While there are older protocols that enable real-time notifications like XEP-0060, PubSubHubbub (PuSH) and rssCloud are two new protocols which show a lot of promise of gaining adoption.

These days you get a lot of articles in your reader about RSScloud and PubSubHubbub (funny name). I was thinking about yesterday to install the RSScloud plugin for my Wordpress Blog, but I didn't...
Today I checked the plugin for PubSubHubbub and didn't installed the plugin because I'm using feedburner for my blogs RSS feed. A lot of blogs using feedburner for their RSS feed (also techCrunch), so why should I use RSScloud or PubSubHubbub for my blog?
