louisgray.com: louisgray.com: Content Filters Proving Evasive for RSS, Social Media Sites

    Pity our old Blog Friends app ran out of funding, because we had some great solutions to this problem that our customers (including Scoble at one point) really loved. Maybe we should have moved to SV after all; seems like you guys appreciate this tech a bit more than the UK investment crowd.

    Paul Walsh's company Segala have a content labels plugin for FF. This could be easily adapted to be the "negative filter" app you describe.

    You can run the Calacanis feed through Yahoo! Pipes and filter for posts that only include "Mahalo" - it's definitely a slow step, but maybe someone can build a bookmarklet that you click on when you're at a site with a feed, and you generate a filtered feed with keywords you enter almost like a delicious bookmark.

    Check out feedrinse.com -- just saw Matt Cutts mention it on a post on Google Blogoscoped and looks perfectly like what your looking for.

    I suggested this to FeedBurner about 2 years ago, before they got bought by Google. It seemed like a natural REST-like operation to me. Guess we just have to hope for someone at Google to do this with their 20/80 time...

    This may seem nitpicky, but it's really an important point: All Feeds are not RSS. Despite the fact that you label your own feed as an RSS Feed, it's actually not:

    http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%...

    It's an Atom feed. Technically, the two standards accomplish the same thing if you're just taking in feeds, but Atom is overall designed better, particularly because it already supports REST through AtomPub.

    But if you're just using Feeds to read (and not to write), then just call them Feeds. Not RSS Feeds, not Atom Feeds, just Feeds.

    Negative filters always seem to be the last to get implemented. RSSmeme doesn't do them yet either.
