  The title of
  http://groups.diigo.com/rss/ctlt-and-friends/bookmark/tag/ALT is
  CTLT and Friends's feed | Diigo Group
  
  The title of
  http://groups.diigo.com/rss/ctlt-and-friends/bookmark/tag/brain is
  CTLT and Friends's feed | Diigo Group
  
  Issues: wording
  
  Different feeds have identical titles.
  
  Where feeds do have different titles: if the feed reader abbreviates titles, it may be impossible to tell the difference.
  
  Suggestions
  
  1. In the title of the feed: include the distinctive features of the feed (in the example above, the tag is relevant).
  
  2. Maybe, order the words within the title so that abbreviation is less likely to remove the distinctive part(s) of the title.
  
  3. No need to include the Diigo brand in the title. It's excessive.
  
  Examples
  
  CTLT and Friends | ALT
  CTLT and Friends | brain
