Google Reader new feature: RSS Subscriptions trends
Publicado Janeiro 4, 2007 por Pedro Pais
To manage my RSS feeds subscription I use Google Reader and as you might know, it’s quite a great tool.
Very recently Google has included a new feature in Google Reader: personalized trends for your subscriptions and read items. Check if you have access to it on your Google Reader homepage:
Click on it and you’ll have access to the juice:
A summary about your subscription and reading activity
Your reading activity over the time
Your subscriptions trends
Your reading trends
And finally, your own tag cloud, based on your reading trends
I’m a big fan of this kind of information about the usage of a particular tool. I hope you too find it great.
For the record, here goes the full site screenshot:

[...] Track your reading trends with Google Reader January 4th, 2007 by Lifehacker Google has added a Trends feature to Google Reader, allowing you to track your reading and subscription trends in Reader. The Trends page is useful for a lot of things, especially if you like to keep track of where you do the majority of your reading (it’s sort of like Last.fm for your RSS feeds). If you use Google Reader to increase your productivity (and isn’t that the point?), Reader’s Trends can help you decide which feeds have a high signal-to-noise ratio based on how much of the feeds content you actually read. For example, if your subscription trends show a frequently updated feed that you regularly read less than 5% of… it may be time to prune that feed. Luckily, you can delete any feed from the comfort of the Trends page.
