Is there a tool that does…


So am using Google Reader to read my feeds I subscribe to, also using Google News for on-demand news emails to me for key terms I track.  (cisco+nexus, cisco+data+center, etc).  Is there any way to combine these or a tool/mashup that I am not using but should that lets me read through my subscribed news feeds, but also does key term searches of the aggregate of blog-rolls and news feeds so I can then be more accurate on the ‘what I am reading’ section.  Right now I have to subscribe to the RSS feed to be able to post it.

Go to your favorite Search Engine, subscribe to the search terms’ RSS feed.

I use Yahoo! and Google and read it in Google Reader.

Along these lines, a way to “weigh” items based on tags or key words.

For instance, an article with a title of:
“Cisco to cut 5k jobs next quarter”
would get a weight of -50, and thus put any future items that look like this below items that look like:
“Cisco releases huge security update”
Something like this would get a weight of +80, and thus put it and things like it to the top.

Anyone know of anything that does that?

Hi Doug,

You can do a lot of great RSS aggregation and filtering using Yahoo! Pipes and PostRank.

With a few hours of elbow grease, it’s possible to get the effect of a “personalized TechMeme”.  Massively efficient!
