Toluu, the RSS sharing and suggestion service, has found some interesting trends when exploring their subscription data.  Caleb Elston, Toluu’s founder, tells me that of the 300,000+ feeds in Toluu more than 50% only have only 1 subscriber.  And that the number 1 feed has 10x the number of subscribers as the 100th most popular feed.
Caleb says this tells him “that the mega blogs are not where it is at, they may have a [...]

Social Median has been opened up to a public beta now. Early adopter type that I am, I of course had to run right over and check it out. I’m still playing with it, but I have a few initial impressions about the overall service so far.
First, Social Median is no FriendFeed. If you were hoping for a replacement to FriendFeed like I was, this is not it. It has a few similar features, but in the end, it is [...]

This is why I have compiled a list of online web services which allow anyone to create [...]

Snarfer is a friendly RSS manager that sits down there in my system tray just waiting to gobble (well actually he snorts) up news from around the world.
Snarfer is a feed aggregator that is really fast, diversified and simple [...]

Review: Megite RSS aggregator service. The ability to read ALL your feeds on one website everyday.
I find explaining RSS and feeds to a newbie is as confusing and frustrating as explaining what the Internet was to everyone back in 1994. What is it? How does it work? How is it different than a webpage (or back then, using CompuServe?). One of the causes of this confusion is how people read RSS feeds. Some use their browsers (Safari, Firefox and the [...]
