Chameleon

Posted on February 14, 2005

Chameleon looks like a very good idea, as it covers some of the same problems I was having with Bloglines, but I haven’t used it enough to see how it works.

Do you like Bloglines? I do. But the number of feeds I was trying
to deal with quickly got away from me. I don’t think folders are the answer. Therefore, I’ve created this work-in-progress, which does a few cool things:

  • Keeps track of which feeds you read, how often, and when
  • Figures out which feeds are your favorites (based on some heuristics), and highlights them — in the feed list, as well as bringing them to the top (you can adjust the threshold on this)
  • Periodically identifies the top links in your subscribed feeds — much like Blogdex, but for your feeds only.
  • Shows you your usage ’score’, per feed

A couple of small nitpicks at this stage, the various ‘hide’ links don’t seem to work for me, and there is no way (that I can see) to load all feeds within a folder by clicking on the folder title.

UPDATE: ‘hide’ links are working now.
