As much as I like Google Reader for managing my RSS feeds, its display of Technorati results for my customized search terms is causing me grief.

Here’s a snapshot of post headlines that include the term “Bryan Person” (yes, I ego surf; don’t you?):

At one point, I had several screens’ — and days’ — worth of posts that all linked to a post about “peanut butter”. What a pain!

Two additional notes:

  • This duplication doesn’t appear in Google Reader using feeds from Google Blog Search for the same search term
  • This duplication doesn’t appear when I cross-check the Technorati results in Bloglines.

I know I’m not alone here, as Chip Griffin mentioned having similar troubles in a media monitoring minute segment on a recent episode of the For Immediate Release podcast (disclosure: Chip Griffin’s company, CustomScoop, also sponsors my New Comm Road podcast).

Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
