Adobe decided to jump into the Feed Reader space with its new ‘Labs’ project called myFeedz. The differentiation factor here is that you can view other people’s feeds that are tagged similar. They coin it as a ’social newspaper’.
So for instance I imported my OPML file from Google Reader and I have several posts tagged ‘Marketing’. In myFeedz I can view posts from blogs that other users have tagged ‘Marketing’. You can also filter by just the blogs of which you are a subscriber.
To be short and sweet - it’s confusing and not near as useful as Google Reader. It’s a great idear but creates too much noise - not only with the abundance of disorganized data but the UI is inherently confusing because of that.

1Have you seen SeekSift
(http://www.SeekSift.com)?
Though there is a social component in terms of preferred source (as opposed to individual article) recommendation, content is more personalized: filtered specifically by topics you like, then made available to you in different formats (email, RSS, web widget).
Disclaimer: my company (a software firm in NYC) is the entity behind SeekSift.

3I have no idear if it’s a web 2.0 thing :) I haven’t noticed it. I just think it’s fun to write/say.
The question is - what’s not web 2.0?
