I've lost count how many feeds I have in Google Reader. That's probably a good thing for me, because now I can skim headlines of feeds instead of wading through ad ridden sites and page delays for content I'm interested in. That, and Google takes care of the feed indexing 24x7.
There is one niche I'd like to optimize, the subscription process. I'd like to preview the feed in Google Reader, right into: http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/http://plug.org/rss.xml Normally I have to click the RSS icon in the address bar, select a feed I want, then click add to Google Reader. Problem is, after I preview how the feed is composed, now it's apparent to me if I really want to keep it or not. Many unsubscribe requests occur here. Not that optimal. If after clicking the rss icon in the address bar, and clicking the feed, I was brought to the url I've shown above, I'd be much happier. I could preview the feed at will, and subscribe if I knew it was worth a future look. Some sites have dozens of feeds depending on how granular they want to be with content. For example, http://feeds.aps.org/ has more feeds than I know what to do with. I was pondering a bookmarklet when the "Add to Google Reader" button shows up, but I'm hoping there's a better way. Thanks, Scott. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
