Google Reader
Over at The Official Google Reader Blog, Google Engineer, Mihai Parparita reports that Google’s browser-based reader now includes a Reader Trends page.
For Google Reader users, particularly those with hundreds of RSS subscriptions, this will offer some useful insight into where one’s attention is being spent. For data geeks, it’s a really cool tool that lets you see what feeds you read and what feeds you should delete. There is an unsubscribe icon to make it easy.
Here’s how he explains it: “The result is the Reader Trends page, accessed via a link from the “Home” page. For example, it lets me see the spike in read items two days ago (the result of my New Year’s resolution of staying on top of my 322 subscriptions). There are also my subscriptions sorted by various criteria, so I can see which I’m having trouble keeping up with. Each subscription has a unsubscribe icon next to it, which I’ve used for those that I decided were not worth keeping around.”
Parparita says in his post. “You may discover things about your reading habits that you didn’t know.”
