And here's NoiseRiver! Because your interests deserve attention!

I am not a blogger. At least I don't define myself as such. Not that I have anything against blogging of course, but I'm more a developper, so sorry all for the long time without any post.

I've been among the people over friendfeed to request filters based on interests, because even if some people like the noise —all the noise— I myself don't. So I put my "money" ( fbrunel one's actually, whom I thank so much!) where my mouth is and made NoiseRiver.

NoiseRiver is a web application based on the friendfeed's API that aims to extend friendfeed with some notions like: interests and neigborhood. You still have all the flow that is in friendfeed but the flow is, from now, on colored. Green meaning that you'll probably like the entry and red meaning that you'll probably hate it. Yes it's almost like feedego :)

The first minutes of the launch were some of the most stressfull minutes I lived in my coder's life. I've had to fix bugs and issues so quickly with everyone complaining about "404 Not found" errors. Believe me that was... hard!

Finally, I can say that NoiseRiver is usable right now, and you can already give it a try with your friendfeed's nick and remote key.

Of course this is just the begining and NoiseRiver will, I hope, be allways a wok in progress. So your feedback, your suggestions, errors reporting, and features queries are all welcome ! Join us in the NoiseRiver's room! :)
