FeedzZ it now

It looks like Netvibes: It has the look of it though. But then again it is not. FeedzZ describes itself as a social news aggregator with semantic features ie it has learning features - It is a news aggregator that automatically or manually can be customized to suite the taste of its owner.

The service is available in Spanish and US English. Its an on-line news aggregator that can be used without registering. But to register with minimum fuss has its benefits:

1. In order to subscribe to a new feed one has to be registered.

2. To mark an entry as a favorite you have to be registered.

3. Manage and modify your feeds and favorite clipped entries on the profile page (You have to be registered to for this as well).

4. And you can arrange the structure of feed collection using an intuitive folder system .

It is not bad and it requires only a minimum amount of information - name, email and password. It allows you to import your opml - Outline Processor MarkUp Language. FeedzZ can receive feeds from support Rss, Atom and RDF formats.

It already comes with a set of feeds pre-selected popular feeds ( ie based on well-known sites). The set is updated on monthly basis. In the near future it seems that the service plans to rank feeds based on a more local ranking system - specifically on the number of suibscribers in FeedzZ. So it depends on the population of FeedzZ.

FeedzZ displays the recent entries, popular entries and as well related information - like other readers interests, related feeds and yu can even follow other members in order to know what feeds yjeu
Whenever you pick a feed you will see the recent entries (you can see the most populars too) and related information as other readers interested in this feed or related feeds based in our readers preferences. You can follow other members to find out their feeds. It even comes with a tag cloud.

The feeds are also categorized according to subjects:

Politics
Science
technology
celebrity
Film
Music
Health
Business
sports

This is an interesting aggregator. And the fact that it comes in Spanish is a plus. It is not fussy and easy to use. And the similarity to netvibes is a good one because. One can view the post spatially - it is nice.
