Steve, FeedDemon's "Popular Topics" feature already does this. It looks for the most popular topics/links within your subscriptions, then groups them together so you can read them in one place. Here's a screenshot:

Google reader is really just slow as heck, don't know why I still use it. It usually runs at *OK* speeds, but many times it takes 10 seconds to load 5 posts. I guess a lot of this is probably from the memory usage issues it has.
At least they finally added video capabilities.

Back when I used newsgator, I kept putting in features requests for that but sadly it never came about. Hopefully gReader can deliver on this. Reading the same regurgitated eats up a lot of valuable time.

Hi Steve,
Have you tried Feeds2.0, it's memetracking capability is surely its best feature.
Just say you get back from holidays and fire up your RSS Reader, it will collapse similar stories under the same story, if you read these similar stories then and there, they are considered read and won't appear as new items in the folders the belong in further down in your subscription lists.
So like you said it's kind of similar to Google News collapsing similar stories.
Without this feature - I read a story in my RSS Reader and I want to blog about it right away, but before I do I check a couple of more feeds to see if anyone else is talking about it, then I decide to publish a blog post.
Then I resume reading my RSS Reader and 1 hour later a feed as a great post on this story that I wish I included in the post I just published.
This wouldn't happen in Feeds2.0 as it collapses similar stories.

Oh absolutely. One would hope Google would have already cottoned on to this necessity. Personally, I feel it's the next big development to take place around RSS.

This would great. I certainly could use a feature like this...Google, are you listening. I use both NetNewsWire and Google Reader and this sounds like something right up Google's alley. I don't know about NetNewsWire now that it's changed ownership.

FYI, you can only open the Borders coupon in IE, not Firefox. Also, it now has an expiration date of 2/15/07.
