A much more nuanced take on feedreader rss subscriptions. Being able to look at one’s subscriptions over time, pause subscriptions, see one’s identity/interest shifts over times based on aggregated tags of the posts of the individual blogs or seeing a digg/techmemorandum view of subscriptions i’ve paused/said goodbye to but still want to be alerted when something really happens.
Anyone seen this explored?

    Care to develop the concept? I think it would be quite doable in Drupal….
    As you probably already guessed.

    It’s probably doable on any platform ;)

    I’d love to help if someone ran with it for real.

    As always i think Dave Winer prototyped something in this direction many years ago.
    I think it’s the “letting go” part of it that’s interesting. Cleaning out 50 rss subscriptions made me realize how hard it is to let go – and how interesting the stuff you let go is.

    And how much your feedreader subscriptions tell about yourself – both for others – but certainly also to figure out what it is one is doing with life…
