Building a feedburner like tool is relatively easy it's getting it to scale out that's the problem. Friendfeed might be able to produce something if they stored the contents and not just the title and link. Friendfeed seems to be able to handle scaling pretty well also. As to Google Reader, I gave up on mainstream feed readers a year and a half ago and built my own web based feed reader. It's a personal project, only scales to one person and looks like crap, but I think it's pretty awesome to be able to read feeds more organically then via a hierarchical structure. I occasionally put out some annotations on what i'm doing on my blog. I also started taking the back end engine and play around with it at punchingsoup.com. Andy that is so true.

I just recently wondered if my feeds were working correctly and they were, but I think the RSS world is being overlooked as we see the sexy and fancy migration to Twitter and other tools. Perhaps its time a new player enter the market and talk to a few of us power feed readers as well. I am using Bloglines, and Google Reader and doing a comparison. I have used Newsgator as well and tried Rojo for abut a day. When you read 5K feed items a day, it really can be a huge asset to have something that helps drink from that fire hose. I'm seeing a real need for the RSS world to open up again. Has anyone heard from Mr. Winer? This is a big concern for many out there.

Probably because I have so many feeds in GReader that it was hard to sift through it all with Feedly. Presumably, it has changed since then so maybe I'll give it a whirl as well.

So, right now, while typing, my eyes glance down and see THIS PAGE has been added to two people have shared this on their Google Reader views, and there have been 7 FriendFeed entries. If I click the FF icon on the mini bar, it opens up those entries on a single view. I initially learned about Feedly last summer with a <a href="http://www.louisgray.com/live/2008/06/feedly-brings-new-social-experience-to.html">review by Louis Gray</a>.

Would be a tough switch - does Feedly work with FriendFeed for shared items? I spose I’ll have to try Feedly out.. Would be a tough switch – does Feedly work with FriendFeed for shared items?
