An Intelligently Designed RSS Reader With a Visual Paradigm
For those of you that haven't yet discovered the value of content syndication for promoting your blog - whether you use RSS (Really Simple Syndication), or its cousin syndication format, Atom - then Serence.com's KlipFolio(tm) RSS Dashboard application might just be the right place to start. (It supports both RSS and Atom.)
The idea is brilliant: a configurable dashboard to monitor all of your favourite web feeds. Have a look at the graphic below. Each little rectangle, which represents a publisher's Klip(tm), can expand out to pretty much any rectangular shape and size that can fit on your screen. Just move your screen cursor over a rectangle, and it will automatically expand, showing you the feed items, which you can scroll over. When the cursor moves away, the rectangle rolls back to its original size.
You can add new source feeds and place the rectangles manually, or have KlipFolio place them automatically. (I've intentionally left gaps.) Each publisher's icon is visible, which helps you remember which web feed is where. Now if you have your own content feed (which you do automatically if you have a blog, whether you know it or not), you can easily create your own Klip using the Serence KlipFolio API in just a few minutes. I created one for the Blogspinner blog in less than five minutes.
I'll post an "add this Klip" button in a later post, as well as an explanation of how to use it, and the KlipFarm(tm) website to promote your blog.
