Recomend an RSS Service that can add tons of feeds, filter out most items?

<< < (2/4) > >>

allen:
Lektora's "news paper" style feed collection makes it really easy to ignore most stories, since it's not your typical e-mail-esque read/unread.  Furthermore, it has great filtering capabilities.  It may be able to do what you want, on the gathering end.  As far as importing feeds goes, as is standard it supports OPML importation but that still leaves finding all the feeds to you.

icekin,
great links to the intermediate services!

Mouser,
You've probably already considered it since it's been mentioned on DonationCoder before but: Yahoo Pipes accept a lot of feeds as input and manipulate them in powerful ways including complex, regexp driven filtering and then output to some other RSS reader. A drawback: it only pulls and filters the input feeds when you pull the output feeds. So if you don't check it regularly you will still miss matches since they have been replaced by newer items in the input feeds. Automatic checking and storing IS possible but it seems to take a lot of tweaking like creating loops to external sites like feedburner -- there are some threads in the yahoo pipes forum if anyone want to try that.

icekin or anyone else,
can any of the intermediate services listed above automatically check and store matches in a way that is easy to setup?

KenR:
Ok, so now that you have gotten some feedback on programs, here is a list of RSS feeds for you. Certainly FeedDemon, GreatNews, and many other program can import this type of RSS data (OPML) file.

Enjoy, Ken
