Still think RSS is dead with the recent explosion of Twitter and several social media monitoring tools. Steve Rubel shows you how to use Google Reader as a Database. As it turns out, Google Reader provides ideal search capability to to search for historical information based on the sites you have been monitoring over the last couple of months, or years for that matter..

No, wrong. Google reaader is worse when it comes to searching historical items that appeared in feeds. It searches only up to the the point about only few days worth of items (ie. those that you have viewed recently using load more items). I have checked it myself using a few old feeds which have 1000+ unread items each and I searched for a popular keyword that is supposed to produce lots of results, and it only produced 2 days worth of results.
