Google Reader and its Recommendation Engine
Isn’t very good, frankly.
Rather than offering entire feeds - it needs to offer stories that appeal to the user.
If I’m given a recommended feed “I may like” I’ll probably add it to my reader and never look at it — partly because I have over 1000 feeds — however, I do want stories that appeal to me. I’m not going to filter through my RSS feeds - my reader should.
The future of RSS readers is detaching RSS feeds and stories — it’s time we stopped overloading our readers and started creating news tailored to our readers.
It should know what I want. If it doesn’t, its broken.
