Information overload!!! You probably visit a number of different websites each day, e.g. your favourite news sites, various blogs, sports pages etc, and often you won't have time to visit every site, so you miss interesting articles. You may even have started using an RSS feed reader to try to bring content from all your favourite sites into a single place, but if you subscribe to lots of different feeds you still have to trawl through a massive amount of content to find the articles that interest you.
Wouldn't it be nice if you had a personal assistant who knew about the kind of topics that you are interested in, and who would constantly search all your favourite feeds for articles that you would like and present them to you, saving you the time and hassle of doing this yourself every day?
Pheedstorm offers a new and exciting way of subscribing to your favourite RSS and Atom feeds. Instead of just displaying all the articles in every feed, it learns over time about the kind of articles you are interested in and selects articles for you, saving you the trouble of trying to trawl through large amounts of content over many different feeds. Each article from every feed you subscribe to is carefully analysed to work out how relevant it is based on your previous feedback, so that every time you come back to the site there will be a selected table of articles, sorted according to how relevant they are to your individual interests.
If this is your first visit, why not sign up for an account and give it a try - it's completely free!
