Try illumio (www.illumio.com) by Tacit Software. illumio is more than just a feed reader but that seems to be the feature you could benefit most from today. The feed reader feature filters your feeds and alerts you to articles that match your interests. illumio also lets you join groups that other people have created and then you can network with them through illumio.

The way to get at the feed is by clicking the RSS icon preceding the feed’s title. I see now that there really aren’t any textual queues right there – sorry we sent you on a goose chase.

Thanks very much for your comment. I appreciate the clarification, although the only options I saw were export when I completed creating my rinsed feed. I think you guys are really close to having a super cool and useful product, especially as feed usage blows up, but I think you would really benefit from some usability testing. I am pretty “techy” and can usually figure out web apps pretty quickly, but I spent about 30 minutes trying to get feedrinse to work and couldn’t pull it off. I also sent my friend Jason (mentioned in my post) a link to feed rinse and he also had no luck. Please keep me posted as you refine the product because I will definitely use it once you get the bumps smoothed out.

-Rob

Couple things… We got a bit less than 12k for Truemors – that was Guy’s entire spend. 4.5k went to EP.

On the Feed Rinse thing, you actually do get a rinsed feed url – you don’t need to output your entire OPML file. It’s possible that’s confusing your reader.

Looks like you already got it figured out inside NetVibes, but let us know if you have questions.

Thanks.

Pipes for the purpose of filtering feeds. It is a slower and more challenging process than I imagine the reviewed services are, and it doesn’t offer more complex text matching options. I think I’ll be looking into the sites reviewed.
