Feed Me

What Is It?

Feed Me is a Bayesian filtering system for RSS news feeds.

What Does It Do?

RSS news feeds are great, but inevitably one ends up subscribing to too many of them, and drowning in a sea of unread articles. So if you've got 400 unread articles, and only time to read 10, what do you do?

Most news readers will allow you sort unread articles alphabetically, or by date, which might let you get the 10 newest articles from your favourite feed.

That's not really what you want though - what you really want to do is pull out the 10 articles that you're most likely to find interesting, from all of the feeds you are subscribed to.

This task is what Feed Me attempts to accomplish, by allowing you to rate articles as good or bad, and then helping you to find more of the good ones.

How Is It Implemented?

It is implemented in Python, as a CGI.

Where Can I Get It?

The project is in an early stage of development, and isn't ready for prime time, but you can look at the source code if you want to (user=guest, password=guest).
