Fever and the Feeding Thereof. ⇒
28 July 2009, early morning
My two big complains with Fever are it's lacklustre iPhone interface, and that the "Hot" listing isn't that hot. (My listing is almost always links to articles in the Star about Toronto, because I subscribe to BlogTO, Torontoist, and Spacing.)
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
I still think there’s a way to perfect it. You just need MORE feeds, in a folder that’s part of your ‘kindling’ that you don’t plan on reading outside of the hot list. That’s why I’m looking for news blogs – I need to feed it more sources that represent all my interests; newspaper feeds don’t do much for it.
It’s doing a decent job of finding video game stuff for me because I dumped like five vg blogs in there.

(You mean Sparks, right?) I need to add more stuff to that section. You’re right though, it’s kind of a game to figure out what’s the perfect set of feeds to get good data out of. Anyway, the app is definitely a step up from Google Reader, which I thought was pretty damn good to begin with.

As I understand it it won’t list an article from sparks in the hot list, it will only use sparks to add weighting to kindling. So it’s good to add a lot of stuff to kindling if you have the problem of not enough matches.
I think.

What good is kindling without matches? Ba-dum-tsh!
