FeedEye - Another New Feed Reader
Here’s another new feed reader. It’s called Feedeye and it claims to be quite innovative. Is this a new twist on something that’s already available?
Feedeye is an online feed reader, but with a twist: Feedeye tells you which items in your feeds are most important.
How does it do this? It creates ’sets’. I read that as the same thing as tabs to group feeds by subject.
Is this really new or are the words the only thing that’s really different. If you check this out, let me know what you think. I don’t think I can try ANOTHER new feed reader right now.
UPDATE: Here is a nice explanation from Feedeye’s creator, Hourann Bosci:
Thanks for the write-up … I suppose I was a bit gratuitous in inventing new terms, but I promise that Feedeye really is different to other feed readers :-)
Unlike, say, Bloglines or Google Reader, Feedeye analyses the content of the items in your feeds and groups items that talk about the same thing. That way if you subscribe to (e.g.) ten blogs about software, and they all post about the same new program, those posts will get grouped together. Here is one simple example. http://feedeye.com/azza-bazoo/apple
There’s a couple of other unique features, but that’s the biggest one — the ability (I hope!) to reduce information overload by highlighting the stuff that lots of feeds are talking about.
Thanks for the update and explanation!
Let’s all look at this reader and talk about it!

[…] Bijna anderhalf jaar geleden al aangegeven als grote wens en nu eindelijk lees ik steeds meer berichten die dezelfde richting op wijzen: de intelligente feedreader.
