The Pain…
Remember the promise of RSS? The great feeling each day when you’d see 1000 unread posts? The world’s information at your fingertips. Until your next deadline. No blog reading that day. You get that sense of dread… That feeling that you’re missing something important as you “Mark All Read”? Some folks are even forced into declaring RSS bankruptcy.
The Bscopes Approach
A way of seeing the picture — both big and small — is what is needed. A way to cut through the clutter? To see the forest for the trees? Visualizing lets you decide what to read and what to ignore without the guilt.
That is the essence of the Bscopes approach. A picture, not more text. and definitely not just filtering.
We’ve created our own special secret sauce that combines important ingredients about each blog in a topic. We then weigh and measure them to create a Heatmap score. And then present it to you as a Heatmap.
