You can view items by category (bookmarks, photos, blog, etc.), you have the entire tag cloud available, you can browse by it, and everything is available/remixable with RSS. You also have watchlists so you can easily build up an OPML of other people's stuff (optionall remixed/spliced by tag).

My thinking atm is for the tag cloud to warp into something that quickly just gives you the big news items. I mainly stick to the river of news style or the default style of reading news on bozpages - I still read most things in my blog reader, but the idea behind bozpages is that in casual reading I'd rather not get pushed content, i'd rather only read it when I feel like it. So the point of bozpages is to have multiple, and then visit in varying frequencies. Like I have a <a href="http://sandbox.sourcelabs.com/bozpage/?bso" rel="nofollow">vanity search bozpage</a> that I visit pretty frequently (it's how I found this post) - it aggregates blogsearches from various engines and on various queries. But I also have an <a href="http://sandbox.sourcelabs.com/bozpage/?gjc" rel="nofollow">Apple News bozpage</a> that aggregates a lot of Apple news blogs like thinksecret, I'm only somewhat interested in Apple news, so I visit it only sometimes. BozPages currently are very lightweight and simple in terms of registration - my goal was to avoid having to require annoying registration, and making them totally simple to share and riff on. If you don't like a feed in my OPML, just cut it out and fork your own bozpage, etc. Of course this means that some features are just impossible, so I am also thinking about adding registration as just an optional thing that lets you do the things that are impossible without registration - like tagging, private pages. BTW if you are a serious hacker you can actually combine feeds in bozpages, bozpages themselves can be aggregated into other bozpages = combined feeds :) BozPages btw is an open source project, wiki @ http://swik.net/BozPages The tag cloud needs work yeah, It’s a big overwhelming to see blog posts that way.
