Are you RSS ready?
Guy Kawasaki points out FeedHub as great concept going for those people tracking a lot of feeds.
The comments and feedback on the post are that people don't trust the system, the filtering will eliminate something they might have been interested in, someone now has data on your personal surfing habits, etc.
I've signed up for the service and will see what happens, before I post my concerns.
The pearl in FeedHub is inspiration and trends. Often times we have clients running reputation management systems that still have a hard time sorting through all their feeds, where they are not necessarily trying to be an A-list blogger, but still seeking to be relevant in current discussions. Put it this way, they don't have a RSS reader obsession, but do have highly interesting and relevant information to bring to the conversation.
Here's a great way to leverage the FeedHub system, and avoiding a complete indexing of all of your RSS feeds.
Go to MonitorThis where you can subscribe to 22 different search engine fedds at the same time, pulling data from Google Blog Search, Google News, Technorati, del.icio.us, furl, Flickr, Yahoo News, etc.
Enter in the search term that is most relevant to your blog and MonitorThis will create the opml file. I use Dreamweaver to save the file in xml.
Upload that xml file into FeedHub and you've got an instant reputation management system set up to give you ideas and inspirations for your blog posts.
