Didn’t you just know that somebody was going to address the information overload in your RSS feedreader? How often do you even add a new subscription anymore, for fear of not even having time to read what you already have? 
Not to worry — the guys from mSpoke just introduced Feedhub, a personalized, customizable RSS feed that automatically selects the most relevant posts from the set of feeds you select. I just registered and uploaded my OPML file (easy to do in Google Reader, in my case), and — voila — I have a personalized feed! I can’t believe how easy it was….
"We make your feedreader smarter," crowed CEO Dave Mawhinney from stage Wednesday afternoon. "We let you stay informed without being overwhelmed."
How does it work? The company uses its mPower Adaptive Personalization Engine, which dynamically adapts to your reading habits.
"Are you ready to declare RSS bankruptcy?" asked Sean Ammirati, mSpoke’s VP biz dev from stage. "You can take advantage of Feedhub no matter what popular RSS reader you use — Google Reader, Bloglines, NetNewsWire, etc." And he added: "Are you ever reluctant to subscribe to a new feed because of information overload? If so, this is perfect, because it will give you only the posts from that source that are relevant to you."
Here’s a screen shot of the Feedhub home page (where I simply clicked
to register), followed by a screen shot showing how I selected the
amount of content I wanted (after I uploaded my OPML file), and, finally, a screen showing what my Google home page now looks
like with my Feedhub Personalized Feed just where I want it (upper

UPDATE 10/5: Here’s a great explanation of Feedhub that Guy Kawasaki posted yesterday…"Reality Check: FeedHub."
