Toluu and Tris
Tris Hussey is one of our more prolific writers his blog MapleLeaf 2.0 here at b5media , his blog produces a copious number of posts. And at one point I even mistook him for a she. The faux pas that arises from the digital world. I hang my head in shame. Anyway, Tris has been mentioning Toluu a number of times in his blog. Toluu is a social feed reader - a feed reader that is a social media , ie or in other words a feedreader that lets you discover and share your feeds via Toluu to others - registered friends and family.
And what specifically form of creature is this beast called Toluu?
Toluu is simple. If you want to share and discover new RSS Feeds just do the following steps:
1. Import your OPML also known as Outline Processor Markup Language, an XML format for outlines or list. So basically the OPML of a feed reader is a list of rss feeds in that reader. OPML allows you set up your RSS feeds in another reader with ease.
2. Find others Toluu users with similar interests.
3. Discover new blogs.
Of course you have to be invited to join Toluu first. Maybe I can get an invite from Tris? Hmm. Updates about Toluu can be seen here:

Hi,
Tris has been a great advocate for Toluu for sure! We just launched a few weeks back and we have been blown away with the tremendous response.
Toluu is a simple utility for discovering interesting feeds and people based on the feeds you already read. We do not try and replace your existing feed reader.
If you leave a comment below we will do our best to get you an invite right away.

I’d certainly be interested in an invite.
Does Toluu have an “import from del.icio.us/ma.gnolia” feature rather than having to deal with the OPML file?

Got my attention Juned. Your invite is on it’s way. My last one!
Thank you Caleb for the props. Loving Toluu, though I don’t know if adding new feeds at the rate I am is healthy or not ;).

@Alex We want to make it easy to get your feeds into Toluu, so we are always looking to other ways to import them.
@Triss The great thing is you can always remove the feeds with 1-click. I find I add a feed and then ‘try it on’ for a few weeks and if it is really interesting I keep it. The amazing thing is how much amazing writing and content is out there.
