Google Reader's public labels had the capability to create a group-edited metafeed, but this advanced use case was never advertised. The one use that I know of for it was on the sidebar of the Google Reader blog: Each team member had a public label, and there was one person who had a label which subscribed to each of the others. Any feed that any team member subscribed to with their public label would show up on the sidebar of the blog; people would do this for their own blogs or their shared items.
- basch 10y agoI guess my vision of a metafeed is something that autoingests rss feeds, presents them to editors as "pending stories" and the upvoted ones become visible to non-logged-in-users/subscribers after a certain threshold. Maybe editors/moderators/curators (whatever we call them this week) would have some kind of superupvote to use sparingly if an important article was justified. I imagine this place being like reddit, where I can view a giant list of rooms, and see how each room and its members are mixing content. it should also be easy to clone/fork (github/yahoopipes) a configuration if your team wants to start where another team began. I also like how counterparties had a list of rejected stories, stories they acknowledged but refused to follow. really I am describing a piece of technology that lets any group of people maintain their own techmeme plus a reddit like index of all the different rooms, that allows you to subscribe to multiple rooms and see them in one feed.
