Back in early june I attended DemoCampGuelph and was excited to see and get an early preview of the recently launched AideRSS.

You see I have this problem. It’s called “Info Glut”. Every 3 or 4 months I have to delete my RSS reader’s subscriptions and basically use Techmeme to help me build up my Info Girth once again. The problem is that I collect a lot of crappy feeds and I have no way to help me determine the goodness that comes from some of these feeds. Well now I do thanks to AideRSS.

I predict they’ll be purchased within 6 months. Bonus valuation if they’ve built a plugin layer of some sort. Having this type of data presented directly into your feed reader would be fantastic. Imagine seeing low ranks on your feeds blog and having the confidence to “mark all as read”. Readers need to get smarter and learn what I like and don’t like and a service like AideRSS can help them get there. That has to be their exit strategy because after a while using them might just be an extra step that I’m not willing to make as often or at all depending on how hectic my glut gets again.

So far AideRSS is getting good reviews. This is a tool that is not only useful but kinda fun to play with, err I mean fun to analyze with

Using it to analyze my blog I was able to make some interesting observations regarding the quality of posts that I deliver and what makes them worthy of a high PostRank (killer term BTW).

If you’re like me and suffering from “info glut” and want to get some quality back into your feed reader give AideRSS a whirl.
