I discovered today a very interesting tool called aideRSS to filter RSS feeds. Actually I use Google Reader to read my RSS feeds. Google Reader is a very cool tool (I discover new features every day), but it lacks the ability to show you the more popular blog posts for instance. I subscribed to about 45 feeds. And of course, I don’t have time to browse all the feeds everyday. That’s where aideRSS helps. Here is a description from their site:

There are only 24 hours in a day and a near infinite number of blogs to follow. You don’t attempt to read the entire newswire every day, and we didn’t think you should be doing the same for every blog. We set out to create an aide, like the newspaper editor, to help you find and read what matters.

AideRSS is an intelligent assistant, which continuously monitors RSS feeds, finds the good stuff, creates a PostRank™, and delivers it to you. We do the grunt work of collecting information on every post, allowing you to focus on your agenda and stay on top of the news stream.

I’m still testing it but it looks promising. And for sure this tool fills a gap.
