24 Eyes

Earlier this morning I received an email which provided information about the launch of the german 24Eyes.de. Not that I wonder why and how, they knew my private email address! The service however offers a combination of a branded RSS Aggregator and Social Networking Software. While collecting RSS feeds, one may interact with others who have read the same news. Searching, subscribing, and sharing – the services consists of RSS news feeds, blogs and rich web content. Furthermore, one may distribute tags for the news items to create a large network of „who reads who/what and what else“. Basically, this is yet another platform to collect our browsing behavior for nice marketing gadgets, isn’t it? I’m only disappointed that I may just add an entire OPML archive and not individual feeds.
