Feedable : Memetracker RSS Reader

Filed under: rss, readers

Feedable is a new RSS Reader with a memetracking feature, for others see Feedeye.

Like other readers you can mark/unmark stories, save, email stories, also read a river of news by clicking on a folder.

Feedable has different reading views: full-text, links, and meme.

Meme

When you click on the “Discussion” link next to a story it will expand to a cluster of related items from the blogosphere (based on inlinks).
The link “More Like This” will fetch similar items from the blogosphere, this differs to “discussion” as these stories are not necessarily linking to the story.

Unlike Feedeye, this isn’t clustering related stories from with my feed subscriptions only, and therefore isn’t ranking stories from my OPML with the most clustered items on top.

I’m not even sure if it is ranking stories based on how popular they are in the blogosphere or if stories are just date-based (latest view).

They have a section called “Hot right now”, basically the most popular of the latest stories according to the Feedable community.

Roundup : newscri.be, Ploud, Zannel, CoRank, Voicethread, Instacomment, Calgoo

Filed under: tools, roundup

newscri.be - personalised news, in the vein of Spotback, where you can browse the latest or popular articles, keep articles, article recommendation, review, comment and vote on articles, search collected articles, track comments. Your news
Unlike Spotback or Findory you can’t choose your own feedset…for similar services see Daylife and Njuice.
Newsvine is a step up as it lets you blog stories, as well as streaming stories from outside sources.

Ploud - Feed management service, interesting feature is post managment where each subscriber is delivered the posts in sequence, ie posts can be attached to feeds with a delivery time interval. This reminds me of serialised feeds like FeedCycle.

Zannel - mobile social network for photo’s and video’s, create a user space called a channel, leave comments, bookmark favourites, send (email or to phone), and rate items.
From the web and mobile web - browse favourites, channels, pic’s and video’s, upload media, and share favourites by sending to a friends phone or email…added to the list.
I’d like to see bookmarking channels, tags to help browsing and group channels…is this basically a mobile focused YouTube.

CoRank - memedigger (with voting and comments) where you only see stories bookmarked by people you have added as friends. So this is not a group view, but a unique view to you based on using friends as your sources. Besides adding friends (sources), you can also bookmark favourite items (but you don’t have a tag cloud, and this tag cloud probably wouldn’t be based on you re-tagging your favourite items)…read more.

Voicethread - audio picture scrap book…see similar services.

Instacomment - if your website doesn’t have comments, you can use this service to enable a comments feature.

Calgoo - Offline access and synching for Google Calendar…some Google Calendar Tips. Interested in Calendars, see here. [via Under the Radar Blog]
