So what does BlogBridge do?

Filed under: BlogBridge — Pito Salas on 5:27 pm

For starters we let you subscribe to lots and lots of feeds and make it really easy for you to organize them for quick and easy navigation.

We also let you create SmartFeeds, which are one of the keys to filtering and discovering stuff from all the worlds blogs. A SmartFeed is like a regular Feed, except that you get to say what’s in it. With SmartFeeds you can direct and integrated access to many popular services like Technorati and Flickr as one way to find information from blogs everywhere. You can also cull your existing feeds based on keywords, dates, ratings and other criteria.

And we don’t just rely on machine-aggregation and search techniques to help you discover new information – we actually enlisted the help of a set of BlogBridge Topic Experts who took their time and expertise to pre-populate the BlogBridge application with their recommended feeds in their area of expertise. These are organized as a catalog of best feeds by category.

You use tagging to alert people about information, or to categorize stuff for later retrieval, or perhaps to share tidbits with your team – now you can do it straight from within your RSS reader. You can tag posts publicly using services like del.icio.us or Connotea, or you tag posts and feeds privately using the BlogBridge service.

Actually BlogBridge consists of two pieces: the software you download onto your computers, and services provided by the BB host computers. The Service operates quietly behind the scenes to provide you many of the great capabilities in BlogBridge. For example, BlogBridge will store information about your Feeds and other preferences on the service. That way you can take your world with you no matter where you run BlogBridge. Check here for what else the service does.

If you are a blogger yourself you can create and edit posts based on what you are reading, directly in BlogBridge, and in one click publish them to your blog or blogs! Check out the publishing features!

Oh, and don’t worry about the platform you are on – we work with all of them.

  1. I like the tagging feature but thought it would let me search through all my tags. Alas, I either don’t know how or can’t. My ultimate goal would be to “save” articles that I may want to refer to later or want to read on the weekend. I can either keep them unread or tag them with something like “toread”, but it would be nice to have a save feature too.
