Solution Watch, as usual, has a very comprehensive post on a MemeFlow-GoTo

…it’s basically a bookmark manager with a different presentation, and there are no tags.

All you do is save sites and organise them into a topic blocks.

You can drag and drop blocks, and also items (#).

You can re-edit the name of the links you collect…there is also a toggle to see your links as URL’s instead of titles.

You can create new blocks, add new items or even use the bookmarklet…when you click on a page it takes you to the MemeFlow site, it seems as nothing has happened but if you look on the right there will be a box that is storing your “Uncategorised Links”.

Very light weight and effective, easy to use, kind of reminds me of the visual RSS readers of late such as Fyuze.

Output is in OPML…how about a feed for each block (or is this too social).

I just wonder what happens when you have too many topic blocks, maybe it will offer a tab to pages of blocks, or supply a block index.

Overall this is a very handy personal tool…ajax functionality is becoming the norm, it’s sooo good!

EgorRSS kind of works like Bloglines email subscriptions.
Create an email with EgorRSS and use this email to subscribe to websites, you are given an RSS version of this email, so you can read the content in your RSS reader rather than your email client.

If you use this for a lot of websites, all the content will be mixed in one feed, whereas Bloglines lets you create as many emails as you fancy.

MultiRSS is another easy way for quick subscriptions, although if you offer a Feedburner feed, they do have some choices, but not this many…see this post.

FrankenFeed is another feed splicer to add to the already full toolbox.

Gada is simply a meta-search tool, but the presentation is designed for easy mobile use.

It searches heaps of engines, including blogs, and social bookmark services.

There is also a drop-down category box, I think the “social” category may limit the search to social bookmark services…so an aspect of it is a meta-tag engine…see others.

It’s great to see a meta-search tool that incorporates services from different types of engines: general web, news, blogs, social bookmarks, etc…

Since it is mobile friendly you can search by adding to the URL, just add your term before the gada part in the URL followed by a “.”
eg. http://folksonomy.gada.be/

Phrase searching

Search box: “social bookmarks”

URL string: just separate the terms with a “.”
eg. http://social.bookmarks.gada.be/

AND searching

Search box: rss conversation

URL string: just separate the terms with a “-”
http://rss-conversation.gada.be/

Output

RSS

At the moment it lacks a spliced feed, need to go to each service.

OPML

Just add /opml at the end of a URL

This is even at the category level, if I search for the term “bloglines” in the social category the end of the URL has an “o” denoting the “social” category
eg. http://bloglines.gada.be/o

…just add /opml to the end of this URL and you have a category level OPML.
