Google Reader Tracks Everything

Most people may not know, but Google Reader tracks every single entry you have ever read and there is no way to clear that list even if you remove all your subscriptions. Check out this link:

For me, this page shows some very old entries from the subscriptions I removed a very long time ago and there is now way to wipe it out! For this reason I wouldn't use Google Reader. (FYI, I use Cheetah News, which is a far better reader anyway, at least for me.)

Lifestreaming

As some people already know, I recently launched my own lifestream (or Stream for short). In effect, my weblog will be updated even less often. My new stream is powered by the gLifestream platform.

gLifestream is a free lifestream platform and social activity reader. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 3.

gLifestream joins several external and/or internal streams into a single one. External streams may be represented by RSS/Atom channels or popular services such as Twitter or FriendFeed. The user decides which of them are publicly visible and which are not. Public streams are visible for anybody. The rest of streams are visible only for logged in users.
