Somniphobia

February 9th, 2004

I’ve been playing with Bloglines for a few weeks now and I’m hooked. You already know that.

I am always on the lookout for other web-based aggregators (They are the future of aggregators, IMO). Tonight, from a search on Feedster for aggregators (which brings back amazing results, BTW) I came across Somniphobia, an easy-to-implement web-based aggregator, which seems to have started at the end of January (only 128 users as of this writing). Some of the neat features include:

1) Importation of OPML. A must

2) The ability to “mark as read” posts. Meaning, you can delete posts after you’ve read them. Another must.

3) You can post to the community weblog. Not a must, but fun.

4) You can see who reads your RSS Feed. Neat.

5) You can see which books are being read by other users. Neat.

6) Mobile access. This doesn’t seem to be available yet, but a must for a must for a buddy of mine.

7) A neat buddy system which allows you and your buddies to make recommendations to each other for stuff you might like. This is a social network type thing that I love. Great job!!

While this site has just started, there is much to celebrate with Somniphobia. Great name too.
