Here are the new 7 wonders of the world based on an online vote. Even though the final seven are deserving of the title, I don’t know if an online vote is a real indicator of the 7 wonders of the world, especially when wonders like the pyramids of Egypt are missing.

The way Google Reader sorts posts has been bothering me for a while now. When you set the sort order to newest, instead of sorting by either the post’s publish date or update date, Google Reader sorts the posts by the data and time when the posts were read from the feed. Maybe some people like to look at posts this way, but I prefer to see it sorted by published date, kind of like how email is sorted by sent date and time.

I wonder what the Google developers were thinking sorting the posts this way, I mean as a user do you really care when Google Reader read the feed? This seems like a basic feature, and many users have raised this issue in the forums, but looks like Google developers are either not listening or just slacking off!! I hope they will soon provide at least the option to sort by either post published date or updated date.
