the Rssa is gssa nu thang.

sooo...RSS we meet again. I always knew your wraps on the latest low down on the tech beat were something well beyond my hollow stringy skills. I've been keeping up with you via our mutual friend Bloglines, where you have gathered quite the entourage to keep me constantly engaged without getting to know the real you. So do you have more to offer me and my fellow homes?

The answer would appear to be yes. Feedrinse has the sound of a dishwashing detergent, but it does claim to have to have the power to blast away those skerricks of spam and leave behind only the mightiest germs (or gems) that are of interest. Sadly, Bloglines does not seem to be such a big fan of sharing its home RSS feeds, and besides, I do prefer my own filtering.

I seemed to get the ol' 404 on filtermyrss, seems it needs the ol' 101 on how to run a website, though I suspect its just for today. feedsifter is a simplified version of Feedrinse, but it simply makes me want to have the option in Bloglines to filter my own. I can filter from the web but not my own list? Silly.

As for RSS going places? some say 'over the hill' but with tools like spokentext its really a powerful tool, as you can listen to that lengthy proposal from mike on your ipod on the way home from work rather that read it. I hope it has a Vulcan accent available.

As for being more efficient with my RSS I'm still fail at 1500 wpm, which really would have increased my capacity to get through my feeds. However I'm sure my comprehension and love of reading would convert to fail on a said win. As for the caring of sharing...its likeness has been added to my own blog.

As for my RSS use, I regularly check it 1-2 times a week, alternating which blogs I read if I don't get through them all, and comment on them occasionally here. The feeds are organised according to the rules of chaos, much like my cd collection as I never know what turn my tastes will take. As for what tools I used and liked, take a trip back in time to the start of the post to find out!
