Stopped using an RSS reader a long time ago because I just couldn't keep up with all the content. Too many unreads, too much noise, got sick of it and figured I'd get the good stuff through Twitter or HN if it was really important.
If you're building an RSS reader, I suggest you build one that filters out all the garbage and only shows me what I should really read. I honestly don't think we need "yet another RSS reader". Having some sort of algo to rank the content could be a good way to differentiate yourself.
- rcfox 15y agoThere was a Waterloo-based company called AideRSS that did just this. Then, they became Postrank. Postrank was recently bought by Google, so perhaps they will add some kind of smart filtering to Google Reader.
