My new favorite RSS feed suggester, digester, and recompenser Toluu (first talked about here) just released some nifty new features. My absolute top favorite is pictured below:

Every feed in the system now shows how many people are subscribed to it, and you can click the tab to see who is subscribed to the feed. Fan-freaking-tastic.

You can’t convince me to use Toluu even more than I already do. In fact, my use of Toluu has now approached second-nature habitual levels. I come across a blog that I like, I click the Subscribe via Toluu bookmarklet, and wait a few seconds. The feed gets dumped to Toluu and then dumped to Google Reader. Just like that. I don’t even think about it anymore, it simply happens. And then I reap the benefits of looking through the Toluu friend activity stream and finding more interesting people and interesting blogs to add. Everyone else just has to put up with the nonsense I occasionally toss in myself.

Toluu is a great system that has been a resource for me to discover new content to read. I joked in FriendFeed last week that there was a big bug in Toluu that made it so that I now have too much to read. Obviously, this isn’t a bug. It’s a side effect of having subscribed to far more blogs than I’m used to reading. But I keep the stuff I like, and I will eventually pare down the stuff I don’t feel is benefiting me in any reasonable way. But in the end, I’ll have a lot more valuable content to read, absorb, process, and add to my total sum of universal knowledge, and that, my friends, is truly what the internet is about.
