New Toluu features: activity feeds in RSS and RSS reader syncing in Toluu

One of the odd things about Toluu was that it launched without RSS feeds of it’s own.  So you were adding feeds and getting updates from people (via email), but what about RSS?  Yesterday (thanks for the heads up Sarah) I caught that Toluu added not only that, but something else that was bugging me: when I added a feed within Toluu I had to manually add it to my feedreader (FeedDemon).  I’d wind up just opening the blog and using the JS bookmarklet.  The wait is over then…

This is my profile on Toluu … I’m adding feeds like crazy now.  As much as I love the NewsGator toolbar (it’s great for adding things to my shared items), using the Toluu bookmarklet is a great habit to be in because not only do I get the feed in my reader, but the whole Toluu ecosystem benefits.

One think I would love to see is a feed or email of all the feed recommendations from my contacts, etc.  Going through an looking at my matches by hand is time consuming and it seems that I’m generally already subscribed to the feeds.  Love to have a way to get a consolidated view of “feeds you aren’t subscribed to, but might like”.

What I’m hoping is that over time Toluu becomes just part of my habit for looking for new information sources, especially since I’m looking at starting a blog way, way out of my normal niche in the near future.
