Looking at my Reader this afternoon, it’s pretty close to 0 unread, which has been typical over the past few months. I don’t know if it’s a lack of news or a lack of interest, but not much seems to catch my eye as post-worthy lately. So, I’ve been thinking about ways to branch out… Read More

PubSubHubbub: Cool, but Hard to Say
PubSubHubbub, a 20% time project of two Google engineers, Brad Fitzpatrick and Brett Slatkin, launched a few weeks ago.

Puneet Strikes Again
The final installment in my “cool stuff from last week that I forgot to blog” series comes from our pal Puneet. He used our Google Reader OPML files (published on the About page) and his own to demonstrate three ways to view the subscriptions without a messy import into Reader or another feed reader. Behold… Read More
