I use google reader to aggregate the dozen or so rss feeds I subscribe to. Often when scrolling through slashdot, reddit, techdirt, and the like, I find the same link repeated over and over. It would be fun if google reader could automatically detect that link similarity

I actually want a similar services, but I want a conceptual view of my blogs. Organize feeds and posts by the subject matter they refer to, grouped in bubbles(?) based on importance, relevance, etc.

topic grouping

That's a great idea. I guess if you were willing to filter your feeds through human eyes first you could group by the tags of other people.

The whole idea of importance and relevance grouping scares me a little bit. I worry that if google gets "too good," then I will only see what I want to see, and I will never break out of my own bubble. Maybe I need to train myself to occasionally click on some "Here is stuff google thinks you'd hate" type of links.
