100 Toluu invites: Discover RSS feeds the easy way

toluuAt first glance, Toluu looks like a stripped down version of the RSS aggregator Fav.or.it, which we reviewed earlier, but it's not. They both serve the same purpose - recommending new feeds based on your current subscriptions. The difference lies in how each web site gets this done. To use Fav.or.it, you have to abandon your current RSS reader in order to benefit from their recommendations. On the other hand, Toluu works with your RSS reader, to make these recommendations.

Getting started couldn't be easier. Import the OPML file from your RSS reader and it instantly matches your feeds with other members who have similar taste. You can then discover and read new feeds directly in Toluu before deciding to subscribe.

Using the provided bookmarklet, you can add new feeds to Toluu - so you can continue to benefit from updated recommendations - and subscribe in your preferred reader simultaneously. Supported readers include Google Reader, My AOL and Netvibes, amongst others. You can also connect Toluu directly to Twitter, sending an update every time you add a new feed.

Toluu is currently in private beta and invites seemed to be going out pretty slowly, and while it's certainly worth the wait, we have invites for the first 100 readers to leave a comment below.

Update: We've got another 25 invites to give away. First come, first served!
