I would really like to have a web based RSS reader that I didn’t really have to interact with. Something that collected all the blogs on the web like Technorati and Digg. And stored all of their feeds and made it easy for me to read them from anywhere in the world, like Google Reader. But unlike Google reader, tagged all the blogs automatically and provided tagged browsing and filters so I didn’t read all the blogs in French (unless I wanted to, but actually I can’t). And allowed me to rank the blog posts, instead of just starring them… but didn’t care if I hadn’t starred them or ranked them, because it used the scores of all the other blog readers in the world!
Way back in 2005, the Google Reader API was ‘documented’, so I wonder if the API is still valid and if some sort of Morphed Google Reader/Digg/Technorati Feed reader is possible? Because I’d sure like to take advantage of social blog tagging and make my RSS feeds easier to manage and find the good stuff!
Update: The Digg.API looks to provide a similar interface to what I would be interested in using for managing RSS feeds, for example sort by most popular today.
Update [Oct 11 2007]: I have just found myFeedz which attempts to be a social newspaper… I think it could go a lot further… but it is a start, you select relevent tags, then it selects your feeds… you can also your own feeds.
