RIO - RSS Information Overload
Dave has an interesting post about how to avoid RIO - RSS Information Overload. He also points to this post about the same subject.
As I see it most of the solutions in both posts tells me different ways that I can organize my feeds. However, as I see it then insted of using my time reading to many uninteresting (to me) blogposts I will now be using that time organizing my feeds. I that I really dont want to do! Seems like going backwards to the time when I was using time organizing mails in different folders in Outlook - aaaargh no thanks.
Also some times its not the whole blog which is uninteresting to me sometimes its only some of the post on a blog that is uninteresting. If it was the whole blog it would be easy to solve - deleted.
But wouldnt it be cool if the reader only showed me the posts from my current feeds that actually interested me? Sort of a cross bestween Gmails spamfilter and archive functionallity and Amazons recomadation feature. Clearly Amazon has to many products for me to be interested in them all. So insted of showing all amazon only shows me the ones that are similar to the ones that I before have showed interested in, either by buying, putting on my wishlist, looked at or searched for.
I would like a RSS Reader that learned my interested over time and only presented to me the posts that are similar to what I have been interested in earlier. With my actions over time the reader would get to know me and therefore would be able to present posts that interested me. Maybe it could also make suggestings to posts outside my feeds. Just like amazon: people who found this post interesting also read this one.
That could be combined with the features from Gmail. Where "report spam" is the equillavant of "I dont want to read anything like this again" and "archirve" means "this is not a spamlike post but its not very interesting".
An intellegint reader that let me read only the posts in my feed that actually interested me - I would like that.
Of course for those who would like to read all and every post in their feeds there would be a "turn of intelligent reader functionality" button.
