COLLABORATIVE RSS FEED CATEGORIZATION

As I posted on Orkut.com about Categorizing RSS Entries:

Since this is the Semantic Social Network community, I think semantics is the answer to this one. :)

The software should be smart enough to group author-designated categories according the meanings of the words or phrases used to describe them.

I also like the way the del.icio.us social bookmarking tool enables user to specify their own tags, which others members of the (social) network can browse. Combine this with a semantics engine and an Amazon-style "the members of your FOAF network categorized this RSS feed as _________ and they also subscribed to _____________" and you have a fantasic collaborative social semantic categorization system (a CSSCS). ;)

You should try Jyte, then, which bundles an RSS/Atom reader with a powerful general news reader built on the search metaphor. You can create searches ("social semantic rss" for example) and your search will return (on an ongoing basis) all articles from our huge database of mainstream news sources, alternative papers and zines, and the blogosphere that match your query.
