Personal Bee: Tag cloud RSS reader

Filed under: General, rss, tags, readers

Personal Bee is an invite only RSS reader (for the moment, as it is still in development)

The idea is to alleviate the problem of feed overload

…we all know now that subscribing to feeds is so easy, fun, and ingeniously informative, that we get addicted and don’t find enough time in the day to read them all…and you want to, but you can’t, unless you want a life other other than RSS (well some of us).

A way around this is to do search feeds on your OPML, try Feedster…or if you use Bloglines, search your subscriptions.
See some related posts below on doing this just within one feed, or a selection of feeds (lacking in Bloglines, which only has all or nothing)…even better just use Feed Digest…see this post for more tools.

Anyway, what Personal Bee does is something similar to TagCloud…TechCrunch explains this best:

“Imagine if all of your unread feeds were scanned, keywords and/or tags were analyzed, and a tag cloud was created where you could see words with font size and boldness determined by how prominent they were in the posts. That way, you could just click on what you want to read, and ignore the fluff.”
