Google Reader Slow to Update

I have google reader now, to check out the RSS feeds I am subscribed to. It’s very handy. I browse over it every day to check out new feeds and visit the posts that interest me.

I have noticed, though, that google reader takes for stinkin’ ever to catch a new blog post. I am subscribed to my own feeds, of course, and it can take up to six hours for my new posts to show up in google reader.

Is this common? I do have google’s ping service on this blog so it should ping when I post a new blog. I’m not sure if this happens with all readers or just google. Or if there is anything else I can do. I could try a different reader, not sure it would be any different, though.

Well, if I was feeling better I might go out to dinner tonight… gotta find a restaurant. If I lived in San Diego, I could find some San Diego restaurants.

    I have Google reader too. It is 9:28 PDT and it indicated this post was written 7 minutes ago. How much lag time do they have?

    Almost exactly five years later, your post was the first relevant hit I found in my search… and yes, Google Reader still takes 6+ hours to update from my own newsfeed. Will check back in 2017!
