Mindity is a personalized newsfeed service that serves a community of web users by enabling them to explore the "Really Simple Syndication" (RSS) space on a single platform across a variety of feed formats.
Mindity is an application made for those who want to stay on top of the news and never miss the latest and hottest stories, wherever their interests are.
Mindity is not just an RSS reader. It is a network of people participating in the reading, sharing and rating of information gleaned from a host of published sources on the web.
Mindity makes it easy to find like-minded people, webblogs and stories that are tailored to your interests and preferences. The Mindity network tracks your reading habits without compromising your privacy and gives you only the most relevant information, in real time.
In addition, Mindity is totally impartial and objective as it shows dynamically what news stories people are actually reading and voting for at any moment in time.
Mindity can prove a major bonus to new blog owners, by giving less known blogs a huge popularity boost. It only takes a handful of people to read and vote for a blog for Mindity's recommendation algorithm to pick it up and offer the resource to a much wider community.
As new stories are detected, Mindity Alerts will keep you posted in an instant.
No duplicates, as all your settings are saved remotely on the Mindity server. Whether you read your feeds at home or at work, you need not receive things twice. Just launch Mindity and get only fresh news!
Using advanced technologies developed by Microsoft, the readers create the most comfortable screen-reading experience available. Technologies like ClearType reduce eyestrain, while presenting the stories in the adaptable column sizes found in most newsprint experiences – allowing for easier tracking and a more familiar reading environment.
Use Mindity as your video and podcast player. No need to open the browser or a media player. You are just one click away from opening a media attachment with Mindity's Media Viewer.
Look for users with similar interests based on your subscription and voting behavior.
What feeds might be of interest to you based on your likes & dislikes? Let Mindity suggest a list of feeds that are similar to what you read in the past. Mindity's offer takes into account what you and your friends are voting for and reading.
With Mindity's rating system get prioritized content and find new RSS feeds. Write your own feed reviews and see those left by other users; not just the ratings.
Share feeds and stories with other users. Send them a story by e-mail, publish on your blog with Windows Live Writer or post to other community websites (Facebook, Digg and del.icio.us are currently supported).
