Feedly, one of our favorite magazine-style feed readers, is opening the doors today on its "Feedly iPhone protoype 7". With a name like that, we feel like we've just gotten access to the secret microfilm hidden in the false bottom of someone's penny loafers.

In a blog post today, the company showed off what it's been working on for the last few months. And from what they're saying, a live beta version is just around the corner.

We just received confirmation from Google that Google Reader now consumes PubSubHubbub feeds in real time. Until now, it often took half an hour or longer before new posts from popular blogs and news sites would appear in Google Reader. Now, however, posts from PubSubHubbub-enabled feeds (including our own RSS feed) have started to appear in Google Reader almost immediately after they are published.

Here at ReadWriteWeb, we're big fans of the Chrome web browser. Most of the bloggers here have made the switch, abandoning Firefox and Safari for the new, speedy WebKit-based browser from Google. And with the addition of extensions, we've found even more reasons to love it - over 1500 of them, actually. We each have our favorites of course, but recently, we came across one we just had to share with our readers: The ReadWriteWeb News Notifier!

Google just announced an interesting update to Google Reader. Google's online feed reader now allows you to track changes on any page - even those that don't feature an RSS feed. Google will create its own custom feeds for these sites and update the feed whenever it notices a change. Google Reader will display a short snippet of the page changes in the RSS feed.
