Feedscrub, Inc. today announced the private beta launch of www.feedscrub.com, a web application for intelligently filtering news feeds. The service targets bloggers who subscribe to hundreds of feeds and want to extract stories highly relevant to their reader base.
Existing RSS filters focus on filtering out particular keywords, creating the possibility of false positives (deleting something the user wanted). Feedscrub realizes that users have unique interests, and that past interest in similar posts is a better relevance indicator than other metrics such as social interaction. It is personalized to your preferences so you only read what interests you, and it gets smarter as you train it to minimize filtering out stories you’d like to read.
Feedscrub supports RSS and Atom formats, and can be used with any feed reader (e.g. Google Reader, NetNewsWire, Newsgator).
Want to be invited to be a private beta user? The first 100 to sign up using the invite code “techdrawl” will be let in!
About Feedscrub, Inc.
Founded in July, 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Feedscrub provides intelligent filtering for news feeds to prevent information overload. Users subscribe to feeds through Feedscrub then teach it which posts they like and dislike. As Feedscrub learns what a user dislikes it automatically filters posts into a junk feed that the user can ignore. For more information, visit www.feedscrub.com.
