RSS relevancy project - updates

Excellent post by Jim Meyer on the attention crisis, as it relates to RSS readers. From this post:

There's no doubt that RSS has had a significant impact on how people access and discover information on the web. But to most people the experience has been bittersweet... for a while it seemed a small yet noticeable step in the right direction for fighting the information overload most of us face every day.

As time passed, more and more websites proclaimed "we have a feed, add it!", and so we did, thinking that this feed might be the one we couldn't live without... RSS suddenly made it all too clear that we will never be able to read and comprehend all the content out there.

If you're a regular reader of blogs/RSS feeds and feel this pain yourself - this post is for you: Today we're expanding the RSS relevancy experiment I mentioned here, and will be adding the first 25 readers to sign up. The only requirement is to be a Firefox user.

What's in it for you? - Honestly, nothing at all right now. But the effort is tiny and within a few weeks I believe the results will be very interesting. Plus - we'll be forever grateful for helping us out!
