Epidemic – Feed a Fever
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
Shaun Inman has released his server-based feed reader, Fever.
I have just installed it (quite easily) and imported my feeds from NetNewsWire.
However, I think that it does need a lot of feeds to make the most out of it. What would be good as an ancillary service would be a web site called ‘Epidemic/Pandemic’. You could browse categories that you’re interested in e.g. Apple, Graphic Design, Photography, Environment, CSS etc. and download an opml file of all of the feeds in that category. Web site designers/companies, could submit their feeds to the directory and category of their choice.
Of course, it would need some looking after as there is the potential for some ’spammy goings-on’, but I’m certain it could be possible. Perhaps there’s a good one already. Who knows?
