just another blog pressed for words

Just getting started on lazyfeed, and have to say I’m really into it so far. Like Google Reader in realtime, but even more simple. Rather than having to go blog by blog, site by site subscribing to various feeds, all lazyfeed asks you to do is type in some key words (some of mine so far are ‘iPhone’, ‘mobileweb’, ‘userexperience’) and it then scrapes the web and pulls in articles, blog posts, and a host of other content that relate to your key word. Just save that stream, and then it automatically starts updating your stuff in realtime.

Easily lets you connect back to your various existing identities (twitter, facebook, flickr) and pulls in your tagged items from there too (though I see they left out google reader- maybe they weren’t allowed to include that functionality? Wouldn’t mind a Posterous addition either, but too early to start complaining, it did just launch after all). And, you can pretty easily share stuff from lazyfeed back out to your other nets.

Always finding myself these days looking for ever simpler aggregation tools to manage the overload of info that my Reader currently is, and have to say this may be one of the best I’ve used in a while. Can see getting a lot of use out of this one. And given that it’s pretty solid right from the start aside from a few minor complaints, will be very curious to see how it evolves and improves over time as they start to get more and more feedback from people.

Seems like everyday there are new tools and apps being created for twitter that seek to make the experience better and more manageable. Conversations about whether or not twitter will be around in the future aside, today it still proves to be a valuable source of interesting information.

Mashable points to a new one that is quite interesting as well- twitter for busy people. Basically it allows you to see the latest tweet from any of the people you follow, so that those who post less frequently don’t get drowned out by the people posting multiple times a day.

Smart and simple way to address the vast amount of info and updates coming at you regardless of what app you use. I sometimes feel like I’m losing out on some valuable thoughts, info, links, etc from people who may only choose to tweet when they have something specific to share rather than a real-time, stream of consciousness post.

Worth checking out if you share my dilemma (twilemma? ah, I had to do it. Tabtabai will love that one).
