What’s Your Fav.or.it?
Fav.or.it is a new type of RSS Reader currently in private beta, which aims to solve the issue of feed content being separated from commenting. The fav.or.it RSS Reader lets you read feed content all within the app, which is extra nice. As of now the site is not public and I have yet to receive an invitation, so I can’t check out any of the cool features this site has to offer, but I can tell you what I know.
This site will offer:
- Full cycle feed reading.
- Stream reading
- Inline replying
- Slicing
- Blogging Platform
- Republishing Platform
The company is asking for people to submit 10,000 blog feeds that will be the initial content that makes up the site.
“During our closed beta we will be accepting blog submissions to be included into our initial 10,000 feeds that we will be aggregating. To create a fair balance of content (we hope) we are only allowing 1000 entries from each band of blogs based upon their technorati rank.”
Fav.or.it is a RSS Reader, similar to Google Reader. The main purpose of the service will be integrated commenting. This means users will be able to read feeds and comment on them within the fav.or.it app.
I like the features this company is going to be offering and think it is an excellent idea. I am just concerned about spam issues. Users may see a lot of spam, unless they are working on ways to prevent that, which I am sure they probably are. Time will only tell.
Waiting on that invitation…
