Grazr does feed filtering and feed blogs

Filed under: blogs, rss, newsmaster, readers, opml

Grazr is a place where you can splice/merge feeds into one stream, or even keep a whole bunch of feeds together and read them by source, which ever way, it’s basically a mini-RSS Reader widget. You can make as many of these as you like and they host it all.

If you merge feeds into the one stream, others can subscribe to this RSS feed.
If you have a bunch of feeds by source, others can subscribe to this OPML feed.

NOTE: Feeds are Grazr’s main deal, but you can also add other type of nodes other than feeds, like an OPML, plain text, links…

Now they have gone a step further and enable you to filter a Grazr by keyword (title, author, body), by date, and by media type. This isn’t filtering each feed you put into a Grazr, it’s filtering the overall Grazr.

All your Grazr’s are hosted in the “Files” tab, here you can re-work your files, etc…
But they are also hosted in a blog view, so each Grazr you make becomes a blog post.

Here’s my Grazr blog, how cool is that.

Each of my Grazr’s is a blog post, and you can subscribe to the feed or OPML of each post.
My Grazr blog also has an overall OPML and RSS feed…hmmm, I could put my Grazr blog feed into FriendFeed.

From what I see the “file” and “blog” views are the same content in different views, it would probably be better if you had the option to choose which files to go into your blog view.

Imagine this for Flickr, etc…sure you have all your Flickr photos in a stream, but this is like your back-end. Imagine each time you add a Flickr photo, you had the option to add it to your Flickr blog, that way your Flickr blog showcases your best stuff. People would rather subscribe to your quality Flickr blog, instead of your main stream…plus a blog is a place to hangout.
