Instant Blog Updates to Google Reader!
I have been noticing instant updates of our blog posts to Google Reader for over the last week. I publish and within seconds its instantly indexed on Google Reader… did they tweak the tools? Have you observed it too?
The usual cycle is I publish a WordPress article, which gets pinged to Pingomatic (though I could try the WordPress pinging lists too), then feedburner bot comes crawling our feed and gets updated, then Google Reader pays a periodic update check to the feedburner feed and gets updated… this process usually took 15-60 minutes earlier.
Although I shifted from Bloglines to Google Reader, I always envied the fact that Bloglines RSS aggregator somehow managed to grab my articles faster than Google Reader. But since last week – I publish and its crawled. Amazing!
Google seems to have tweaked the settings of the entire mechanism, all of which is incidentally owned by Google – from Feedburner to Blog Search Engine to Google Reader. Are your blog posts getting indexed instantly by Google Reader?

It’s funny, I am having serious issues with reader. It takes 3 hours for my posts to be published in reader, unless I pre-post and publish in the wee hours of the morning.
I would gratefully love any insight as to how to change the publishing speed into reader!
It takes at lest 3 minutes for my blog posting to appear in google reader.

You are right. Google Reader indexes it faster than email delivery.
PC/ things have improved and it happens for me too. However, my other low page rank blogs take time to update. However my reviewsaurus blog gets updated pretty quickly
