The real winner here might be Prismatic. They already do awesome machine learning based discovery. If they'd add an RSS reader (not just RSS feeds into their discovery machine) they'll get every one of millions of users moving off Google Reader.
Due Disclosure: Though I have no official connection to Prismatic, founder Bradford Cross is a friend and I am biased to Prismatic. It is awesome. Try it at http://getprismatic.com/ http://getprismatic.com/
- k_bx 14y agoWhile I like prismatic a lot, it builds on idea of a filtering bubble that you put yourself into. So it's better for finding something that you'll be interested in and you already know that (since it's in your interests, and your friends quote on that), but it's absolutely orthogonal to rss reader.
- laacz 14y agoI've never been a fan of giving away choice of what to read to automated systems. Of course some percent of suggested stuff is ok, but actually it all boils down to three components for me. Mostly I read what I want to read (interests). Then I'm interested to follow popular stuff (keeping up). Then I'm all right to take a peak at what a program suggests I could like (discovery).
