I have far too many feed items to read. I'd like to review ~1,000 items in 20 minutes, as a start. (Review means: Read the headline, possibly read the summary, decide whether to read the full story, do whatever is needed to open full story, move to next item; I'll read the full stories after I've gone through all the feed items.)
* Deduplication: Which might remove ~5% of my feed items
* Grouping: This would be by far the most important feature. I need something to group articles covering the same story (e.g., all the news publications' stories on the big game or big speech or big calamity last night). Then I can quickly choose one and ignore the rest.
* Speed: UI that responds at the speed of thought and maximizes throughput when reviewing feed items. A keyboard interface is essential.
* Complex filters: So I can automatically process items as desired.
* EDIT: Automate handling of broken feeds: On one hand, I want to spend as little time on broken feeds as possible; perhaps the reader can retry for x hours, then try obvious alternative addresses (perhaps Stream can maintain a db of the new addresses, saving each user from redundantly solving the problem themselves), then notify me with an efficient interface for resolving the problem.
* Micropayments: Maybe over-ambitious, but it would be a great way to support the authors. A possibly world-changing feature.
