Attensa has released a beta of Attensa for Outlook 1.5

- articles are ranked based on your reading behaviour (AttentionStream data)…this is the priority view
(some of the analysis is based on: time, frequency, clicked, ignored, deleted)
- the favourites view ranks feeds in order according to your reading behaviour
- the ususal date view
- read by feed or river of news
- slider that allows you to control how much contents you see for each post on your front page
- hot keys
- feed directory
- create search feeds from various engines
- handles enclosures (audio/video feeds eg. podcasts)
- tag feeds and posts
- synch with other attensa RSS Readers
- publish to your blog

Check out the screen shots.

For more on this check out the guide (mind you this is one of the best instruction guides I’ve read).

Other Players:
Newsgator, IntraVnews, blogbot (synchs with Bloglines), inclue!

Another release (coming soon) is the Attensa Feed Appliance…an enterprise RSS Server (set-up and manage RSS feed usage)

- RSS proxy server, integration with Microsoft Exchange and Active Directory
- Create feed sets for individuals or groups
- secure feeds (behind the firewall)
- Feeds are synchronized across the different Attensa RSS Readers via the Microsoft RSS Platform
(So if you use all the RSS Readers: the desktop viewer (attensa application), the online reader, the outlook reader and the mobile reader…all articles read, deleted, etc…will be updated and synched.)
- Stores all the feeds in one place (server), therefore each PC doesn’t have to have a version of the feed

Not sure if this is also an RSS creator, that is, enabling you to build RSS feeds for anything…plus manage, deploy, synchronise and track statistics via the RSS Server.

Also are any of these companies thinking about a user created feed directory, ala BB:Library.

RSS is shaping up to perhaps turn enterprise communications on its head:
- Pull stuff to yourself instead of email pushing
- RSSify anything eg. when a computer finishes a task, get it to RSS you
- anything you currently have an email alert for, RSSify it
- read updates in email on your desktop, on the web, on your mobile (all synched)
- reduce information overload via attention tracking in the background
- create a feed library (subscribe to OPML of feed sets)
