Toluu Review

There are many feed aggregators out there, but Toluu.com does some unique things with your RSS feeds. For one thing, it's not an aggregator at all. It doesn't deliver news items to your desktop or your browser. Instead, it keeps a list of all of your feeds. What makes it special is what it does with the data.

Toluu is, at it's heart, a feed recommender. It compares your list of feeds to other Toluu user's lists. It then algorithmically determines other feeds you might want to read based on the feeds you already like to read. There's a social element as well. You can find people who read similar feeds and add them as friends. When your friends add new feeds, you are notified.

You can import your current feeds through OPML. You can also add feeds manually, or use a bookmarklet.

Toluu is currently in private invite-only beta. I currently have six invites for anyone who wants one. Just send me a tweet on twitter (user name: dOgBOi).
