Dave Needs Tailrank Mobile

Dave Winer just got a new Blackberry cell phone and now realizes he wants a mobile RSS aggregator:

Now that I have a BlackBerry, I want to take a PDA version of everything I do on my desktop with me into the PDA-land (otherwise known as The Real World). Immediately, every time I pick it up, I want to know what's new. I've got SMS to connect with other PDA users, and email for everyone else. But what about news? At first I thought a "mini" version of my news aggregator would be the right thing, but that's too much news. I want just-enough, which is less than the firehose

Sounds exactly like Tailrank mobile.

Dave. Just create a Tailrank filter and you can read it with Tailrank mobile. Just create an account, import your OPML, and then you can read it on your Blackberry.

Here's my filter for example. We don't have a UI to create this on the mobile device but once your account is setup you can view it just fine.

The great thing about this is that its exactly the opposite of the firehose. You can control how much water you want to drink at once. If you want to be more picky you can increase the value of min_ranking and Tailrank will show you fewer stories and with higher relevance.
