FeedRinse: Filter the cruft out of your RSS feeds

by Jordan Running on March 24, 2006 at 12:15 PM

Like Download Squad but sick of hearing about Vista? Or maybe those Time Wasters are really wasting too much of your time? Try Feed Rinse. It's a service that looks at your RSS feeds (OPML import included) and filters out posts based on keywords, author, tags, URLs, or even profanity. Feed Rinse scrubs the feeds and then republishes them so you can still read them in your feed reader of choice.

Unfortunately, Feed Rinse's free service is.. limited. You can only filter three feeds in the Free version and there's no profanity filter. The next step up is "Plus," which isn't even available yet but will cost $5 a month for 20 feeds, and Premium, which supports up to 300 feeds, will cost $8/mo. That pricing structure seems a little wacky to me, but it looks like a useful service so hopefully they'll find their niche.

Neutral

Thanks for the feedback. We're still hammering out some details, and we'll be adding in some new functionality (especially to the paid accounts). I can't promise a timeline, but 'soon' is definitely applicable.

Thanks again.
