Ilya emailed me this morning that NewsGator Online had added aideRSS PostRank to their sort options. The cool thing about this is that you don’t need a plugin to use it. So unlike the GoogleReader version, you don’t have to use Firefox to take advantage to PostRank within NGO. Also, while this is limited to […]

The information firehose is something that we all suffer from nowadays. I won’t even use the incremented number of Web x.0, that’s just foolish marketing, but we are beginning to try to tame the information beast by pulling more together. Is that the right course and will it save us?
If services won’t save us, will […]

I think Toluu might be one of the best new finds this year. Sure FriendFeed and SocialThing! are helping us aggregate our online lives, but Toluu is helping me find more and more interesting stuff online. Getting a broad perspective through RSS is key, I’d say essential, to what I do and maybe for all […]

You all know that I’m a huge fan of aideRSS and have been using it religiously since I found it. Today, no kidding, they’ve announced their Firefox extension for Google Reader that allows you to filter your posts with PostRank right there in GoogleReader!

You know by now that I’m a huge fan of FeedDemon. I slog through 1000s of posts a day using it and probably mark almost as many read with the panic button when I get behind. Like any good piece of software FeedDemon has a ton of not-so-well-known tricks that power users can take advantage […]

Matt Cutts made his 2008 predictions and wants a “best of” RSS solution:
An RSS startup will add the ability to take a normal RSS blog feed and produce a “best of” feed that picks only the most popular/controversial/interesting items. You will be able to say (for example) “I want only about three Valleywag posts per […]

Louis Gray commented a week ago on how poorly Google Reader updates feeds, in direct contrast is this post from Greg Reinacker on how NewsGator works:
Category A: these are feeds that are needed by certain commercial syndication services customers with extremely tight SLAs - some of these SLAs guarantee content available within 2 minutes of […]

I think Marshall Kirkpatrick is one of the few people I can safely say consumes more RSS on a regular basis than I do. My 775 feeds pales in comparison to his 1000+.
We both, however, are passionate, users and evangelists for RSS. Services that provide information, but not in RSS…not even on my radar. I […]
