Toluu, now we're talkin useful, sort-of, maybe

TheNextWeb posted a good review of Toluu. Briefly, Toluu is about feed sharing.

Looks great. And frankly, I'm far more interested in these sorts of things than I am the "centralization of decentralized me" style services (I believe Solis might have said that first).

I haven't received an invite yet, so I don't know this first hand, but according to readwriteweb, "what you and your friends read and tag as favorites will help you discover new feeds that you may enjoy reading."

I can only wait and hope that Toluu recommendations are not based solely upon me and my friends. The reason, of course, is that I already have multiple communications channels engaged between myself and my friends/contacts. The old line “tell me something I don’t already know” applies.

However, if they’re going to find me people with similar interests that I don’t know, and then point me to things in those collections that I don’t already have, that would interest me a great deal.

Thanks for the mention. We have just launched our private beta and the feedback and suggestions we have been receiving from our users has been fantastic!

Toluu aims to help you discover new interesting feeds. We think that your friends will be a great first place to start in this endevour, but we also expose you to other users in the system who have similar tastes but have feeds that you do not yet read.

If anyone would like an invite, please visit http://www.toluu.com/betainvite and we will get you one as quickly as we can.
