The problem is that RSS feeds -- which land in customizable Web sites such as My Yahoo or in desktop windows, depending on how you configure things -- can pile up much like e-mail. If you subscribe to a lot of blog posts and news sites, checking out all the feeds can become a time-devouring project.Thankfully, there's now a machete to hack through the underbrush -- a free RSS filtering tool named FeedRinse. After a quick and easy signup at FeedRinse.com, you can put a variety of conditions on your RSS subscriptions.
Say you like a gadget site's reviews of flat-screen televisions but you couldn't care less about cell phones. You could set FeedRinse to send you only items from that site with "flat-panel" in the post. Or you could apply a less restrictive filter, such as to send everything except items containing the words "cell phone."
The reviewer used it to cut down the NSFW features on Boing Boing while at work. What a conscientious employee.
There is a cost associated but it's not that pricey.
