Pulp app on Boing Boing.

Boing Boing featured a post today about EP RSS app, Feed Rinse. For our non-geek readers, we’ll translate:

  • Boing Boing is the second largest blog on the Internet (as ranked by Technorati).
  • EP is us.
  • RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an online content delivery method.
  • App is short for software application.
  • Feed Rinse is an app we’ve developed to let users filter their RSS feeds.

Vernacular aside, what does this all mean? We’ve been working on some ideas to help make the Internet a better place to live, work and play. Posts on Boing Boing and others help validate the extra hours.

Feed Rinse puts the hurt on unruly RSS

Feed Rinse is a web-based application that helps you get more out of your RSS subscriptions by blocking posts that you aren’t interested in.

Getting started with Feed Rinse is free and easy:

  1. import your feeds (enter subscription url’s, upload opml from your RSS reader, or use the bookmarklet)
  2. set up your filters (ie: block posts that do not contain “Web 2.0″)
  3. export rinsed feeds (update rinsed feed url’s individually or export opml for your RSS reader)

Your free account will let you set any number of rules for 3 feeds. Upgraded account plans will be ready yet this month to allow you more filters and additional features such as an optional profanity filter.

Parting the RSS Sea.

Feed Rinse is a new online service created to squash RSS spam. The application launches in earnest later this month, and although the free service isn’t available to the public yet, we can personally vouch for its freakish power of RSS filtration. Other cool features include optional profanity filtering and OPML import/export. We won’t elaborate beyond that, check it out for yourself.
