Now you can share the feeds you read with the world. Ever wanted to know what blogs other bloggers read? What feeds successful bloggersm subscribe to? or How the heck do some bloggers come by certain type of information you never can?
Well the answer to all your problems is here. Feedrer, yeah! vowels are back, is the Internet’s first social feedNetwork.
Follow your favorite RSS feeds from a single platform, take a look at what your friends are reading, add friends with similar reading interests and also scrap them. This is one social network for feed-readers.
The site is still in invite private beta, but since you guys are special readers of Everybody Go To, the site that tells you where to go, the first 20 who rush on over to their registration page and enter this code - everybodygoto gets to try it out before anyone else.
They said if I try the website myself I might get more invites, so I’ll take the plunge for my beloved readers and try it out. Once they pass on more invites I’ll let you know.
See now me being a freelancer who works on websites and stuff I can’t help but make this comment. They need a new logo and web designer.
I’ve tried to add my own feed to the service but it doesn’t seem to catch it yet, perhaps I need to wait a bit.

Yeah, it’s not just you. I tried to add your feed, my feed, Matt Cutts feed. and I keep getting a message saying “Feed Added” but nothing actually comes through.
They do have that “Discovered a bug?” link at the bottom, but that just goes to a support email address.
I think they need to look into this more before their public release. Yeah, especially the design and layout.

I’ve registered, and the first thing I’d really like to see is an import feature. Do I have to add every feed I subscribe to separately?

Keep adding your suggestions, maybe they’ll notice and make it better.
Thanks for your comments.

Edit: Just got my verification email and all seems to be fine now. My feed shows up, though I guess it takes a while when you add new ones for them to actually show up.

The import feature is a pretty nice idea and we shall work on that.That besides, the feeds are updated every hour. So, your feeds are added at the next hourly update. Thanks for the other suggestions, we shall take them up.

I’ll have to check this out. Seems like they are still working out the bugs, but will be worth it in the long run. I’ve always wondered what others in the blogosphere read!

I made it in too… yay! I’m getting the Add Feed bug as well. Nothing really happening. I tried adding my feed a second time and it said that it already exists. So something is happening it’s just not getting translated back to my profile.
Support for an OPML import/export would be nice. User interface needs work… pretty bland.
Yep, pretty much what you guys have already commented on. Ditto!
