I have just installed the PuSHPress plugin, and this post is a test to see whether it works. If yes, this post should be indexed quickly by Google Reader (and other feed readers).
Filed in “-Real-Time Web“-.
UPDATE: I am so impressed, I could lay an egg. A brand-new post appears in Google Reader within seconds. I can’-t believe it.
UPDATE 2: Any small editing is immediately fetched by Google Reader (provided it is done on the last 10 posts). Amazing.
This is an update. The WordPress guy came back to me with answers. It is a dual problem: a HTML validity issue and an invalid tag issue in TinyMCE.
Problem with my WordPress 2.7, my embedded YouTube videos, and my feed reader(s).
Still a mystery.
No word yet from the WordPress authorities.
A tipster tells me that the plugin “-Smart YouTube”- solves the problem.
I won’-t install the plugin before I get reliable info from the WordPress authorities.
UPDATE: If I embed the YouTube video in the “-HTML”- area, and don’-t click on “-Visual”- before publishing, all is fine —-the YouTube video will end up in the feed reader.

In my last post, I have embedded 7 YouTube videos on prediction markets (featuring Emile Servan-Schreiber of NewsFutures). While they work fine on the post within my web browser, they can’-t be seen when that same post is displayed within a feed reader (such as Google Reader or Sage).
At this moment, I have no idea where the problem comes from. I would blame WordPress 2.7. (All was fine with the previous versions of WordPress.) Let me investigate that technical issue. I will post an update to this post, later on.

Google Reader fetches our comment feed once an hour or so. Too long for some.
Scan this feed explainer, I have listed the PC-based feed readers. You can then decide exactly when to fetch our comment feed —-every 10 minutes, every 20 minutes, etc.

As for me, the blog administrator, I read comments and reply to them —-from within the WordPress system, on the “-comments”- page.
I’-ll log in as a simple subscriber, soon, and see whether one simple registered Midas Oracle reader could, from there, reply to other people’-s comments. That would solve some of the problems of the guy linked to, above.

Here’-s the Google Reader announcement about this new functionality. (My thought: it’-s “-cool”-. 
)
Robert Scoble thinks it’-s lame.
