Fyuze for news!

Filed under: rss, newsmaster

Gee, these virtual desktops are becoming popular…Fyuze is another to add to the list (although this is focused on just feed content).

It’s basically a place to see all your feeds displayed on a page, you can even discover feeds to add by searching from from various services from within Fyuze itself.

Most bloggers are familiar with re-syndicating a feed into a small javascript box that sits in the sidebar of your blog, well now you can re-syndicate heaps of those boxes and display them on a page
…and you are not only limited to one page, you can make tabs for other pages.

So you could grab your 10 favourite blog feeds about “sustainability” and display them on a page, then tab to another page with 10 keyword search feeds for “sustainability” from various services (eg. news engines, bookmarks services, RSS engines, etc…)…or make each page a different topic.

This is a great way to display feeds and their content in a portal type fashion for easy viewing…kind of reminds me of setting up a topic based Blogdigger group or Public Bloglines account, but instead of a stream of news like a Blogdigger group, Fyuze enables to view content (in boxes) by source…you can also do this in a Blogdigger group by just filtering contents from one feed, but with Fyuze you can see content from various feeds at the same time on the one screen (each hosted in a box).

Now I’m not sure if your account is viewable by others, but this would be a good idea as you can only fit so many boxes on the sidebar of your blog.

Also it could act as a snap shot of your web 2.0 profile, ie. include feeds from all your web 2.0 accounts all on the one page for people to see.

An RSS feed for each page and for the whole account would also be great, kind of like how Google News Customised has an RSS feed for the whole account.

Actually this kind of reminds me what Feeeds did a while back, and something else I posted about called Fuzzy Newsmastering…this tool also allows you to create RSS radars by splicing and filtering feeds, but unlike Fyuze there lacks an inbuilt facility to find feeds.

First it was reading feeds in your personal RSS Reader, of late there are an increasing amount of applications or ways to display feeds in a public page, some like Personal Bee even add intelligent indexing…even more than TagCloud.
