SharpReader, which I’m using at the moment, does this link clustering somewhat. But I think I’d rather see the links as the clusters on the left panel, rather than embedded in the top one.

Tracking is more difficult of course. It is easy to determine if an item has changed, but feeds differ on what they offer. Those that offer comments in the feed just include it in the , I think, rather that , or something. The “weblog proposal for rss” post on Six Log a few days ago touches this subject a little, and ThreadsML may be the solution (don’t know much about this yet).

Btw, I hope all my comments are smashed into one paragraph….

We've been thinking about ways to accomplish some of the things you're talking about, but none of it has made it into code yet. I like your clustering thoughts - cool ideas. I think the read/unread/other is handled easily in Outlook (more so in Outlook 2003) with follow-up flags, except for the "tracking" status you mention, which is obviously more involved.

As I said on http://www.faganfinder.com/me/2003_04_01_archive.html#92001578 , I'd also like to see clustering, if not by topic or even keyword, then at least by links. And as I said on http://www.lazyweb.org/archives/004562.html , I'd like to see more than just "read" and "unread". Excuse my ignorance if NewsGator does any of this already. You seen my <a href="http://www.faganfinder.com/search/rss.shtml" rel="nofollow">RSS page</a>? Yes, searching is good :-).
