Is it time to tidy your RSS?
July 18th, 2006
Of course it is… you may then want to try Feed Rinse , which at first glance looks useful and very nicely designed.
Except… here we go eh? ….
1. I can’t read my feeds from here, they just do washing… and deliver OPML by the look of it (or am I missing something?)
2. Could anyone be bothered to set up a rule for EVERY SINGLE feed? This is a big disappointment… they aren’t rinsing my feeds, they are delivering the soap and I have to do it myself.
I know I couldn’t… although I would be happy to set up a few global rules and then add n prune as I go. Sam has been playing with the idea of a Baynsian RSS Reader for a while where you flag certain posts to be “more like this”…
There is a huge need for a semi-intelligent RSS Reader , one where the set-up (or progamming/rule creation) is not front loaded but done incrementally, almost without the reader being aware, like an in-the-zone-gardener pottering with their secateurs and whistling.
