Fever
Tuesday June 23, 2009
Fever is Shaun Inman’s new hosted app (for those who don’t know, he’s the guy who built mint). It’s intention is to free you up from the constraints/addiction of keeping up to date with your massive collection of rss feeds by determining what rss items/blog posts are so hot right now.
It’s a cool idea when you think about it, and it’s another shift over to what I reckon is the next iteration of internet services will focus on (as I said before when I mentioned nizmlab).
I bought it to see if I could cut down on the number of irrelevant/rubbish items I sift through each rss feed I subscribe to just to get to the ones I’m interested in. At $30 it’s not too steep, and you get to self host it (but only on one domain - I’m not sure what happens if you’d ever want to move it to another host).
The interface is a near-perfect example of how to build a web-app, and its almost worth buying just to see it in action. There’s no clutter whatsoever, no dashboard-esque tabs, and no ugly menus. One icon is all you get to see the main menu, which drops down on mouseover. All interface elements appear when you hover your mouse over the sections, which allows you to focus on the content.
In order to get the best results out of fever, you would put your must-read feeds into the kindling section, and all the others, the secondary and passive feeds into the sparks section. Sparks feed the kindling, which then raises the temperature of the items that fever recommends to you. The more less-relevant rss feeds you have in sparks, the better your recommendations will be. Or at least that what fever promises. It’s too early for me to say (I need to add more irrelevant feeds to my sparks to see a bigger difference).
