Toluu Enhances Feed Discovery Service; Is an Aggregator Next?
Feed discovery service Toluu has rolled out a minor update that is geared towards helping users decide if a suggested feed is something they might be interested in before visiting the actual Web site. I’ve embedded a screenshot below of the new functionality. When you put your mouse over the name of a blog anywhere inside the Toluu application, you see the latest five posts from that blog. This can help you determine if it’s a blog that you would like to visit and/or subscribe to.
Could Toluu slowly create a custom version of popURLs and Alltop start page? They know what you like and what your friend’s like in terms of feeds, could they offer up the right content in a mix? And what about aggregating "like content" together?
Check out our full review of the Toluu service.
Allen,
Thanks for the write-up of our newest feature, we are really excited for users to more easily discover and explore the site now that they don’t even have to click on a feed to get more info about it.
We are always thinking about new ways we can surface and present interesting new feeds :)
