Googler Dolapo Falola has spent his 20% self-allocated time improving the mobile version of Google Reader, especially tinkering with the iPhone-ized app, which is easily the most comfortable way to read feeds on the go – thx! all important features (sharing & starring items, tags) are accessible through the top navigation and the app is [...]

RSS-publisher FeedBurner published an extensive report on RSS-readership and -usage, the latter meaning detailed stats on the number of indiviual item-clicks & -renderings (coined “audience engagement”). no big surprise – as mentioned before, Google Reader has taken the market of online feed-readers by storm…
as of yesterday, Google finally reports back RSS subscription-numbers to content-publishers, which basically means that feed-statistics like FeedBurner can now include the number of readers subscribed to a feed through Google Reader or the personalized Google homepage (this wasn’t possible before, meaning that probably thousands of readers wouldn’t show up in your feed-stats). [...]
wow, the whole web is singing the praises of Yahoo! Tubes Pipes, a new mashup-service announced earlier today. unfortunately, the Pipes-servers haven’t been responding for most of the evening, Yahoo’s engineers have either underestimated the impact of this announcement or the ressources a service which could be described best as universal RSS-mashup-engine might suck up.

FeedShake is a lightweight tool allowing feed-junkies to merge an arbitrary number of RSS- and atom-sources into a single target-feed. word-filters allow further refinement of resulting feed-items, which could be easily used to create vertical meta-feeds similar to earFeeder. on the downside, FeedShake does neither cache feeds nor straighten out invalid XML in source-feeds.
want to receive all the latest news, blogposts, tourdates, videos of your favorite artists? earFeeder (beta) scans your local harddrive for media-files and builds a customized RSS-feed syndicating various sources matching the artists found in your library. since the media-scan is based on a Java-applet, earFeeder doesn’t require local installation.
update: after being subscribed to my [...]
Google launched a major revamp of their online RSS-reader earlier today. while the initial product has been critizied among the blogosphere for being somewhat half-hearted, this release seems to get it right (see TechCrunch or Scoble). new features include counters for unread messages, folder-based navigation, continuous scrolling (this one is cool!) and easy sharing of [...]
Feedvertising offers bloggers – no matter how big their readership (actually the service turns down low-traffic sites) – a free & easy way to sell advertising-space in their RSS-feeds. Feedvertising works without changing the feed-URL, instead ads are inserted into the feed by a plugin extending the blogging-software (currently only Wordpress [self-hosted] is supported, with [...]
while Dave Winer’s rivers of news deservedly have gathered most interest of the mobile community over the last month (see TechCrunch, OM Daily), online feed-reader Bloglines offers a mobile version of its service since quite a while. the interface is almost as stripped down (and therefor fast) as Dave’s mobile rivers, with the big advantage [...]
