Lazyfeed

Lazyfeed won’t replace your Google Reader account, because it does something completely different.  Instead of signing up for specific RSS feeds, Lazyfeed lets you sign up for topics!  It then aggregates the content of different feeds and gives you results specifically on your topic.

After using it for a few hours, I already have twenty-or-so topics set up.  Some are riffs on the same subject just with tweaks for wording, others are items like libraries, advocacy, innovation, technology. The feeds update in real-time too, so if you head here you see the latest things.  You can do feeds for your library, for you community, for yourself.  It is the slickest thing!

At the top of the page, you will see trending topics that are currently hot.  Click and they are added to your list. 

When you click on a topic, you see results that have been added since the last time you visited, meaning you don’t mark items as read.  This is more of a newsriver concept, where you dip your toes in as you will and don’t have to keep up.  Click Save and that specific post is saved on your list so you can return to it. 

I highly recommend you try this.  I use it right along-side my Google Reader, finding new RSS feeds, new blogs, and fascinating articles I never would have discovered before.  The ease of use here is amazing. It rocks!
