This post is late. The right time to send it was a week prior to SXSW. A week prior to the massive SXSW twitter group. A week before hundreds (more?) of new twitterers got a first hand intro to the awesome power of a hyperactive twitter group.
Here’s the thing, twitter has this [...]

Just checking in to see if this thing is on (since we haven’t been posting much).

Today we added a feature to allow users to quickly add rinsed feed urls to their reader(s) of choice. Two clicks will subscribe your feed or channel to your selected reader. Here’s how it works:

Click on the feed / channel icon.
Select your reader.

We wanted to make it a two-click feature to differentiate us [...]

It’s fun to just be listed on Emily Chang’s eHub. But, today we noticed that Marshall Kirkpatrick of The Social Software Weblog featured Feed Rinse as being one of particular note in this week’s eHub list. A quick thanks to both for taking a look and spreading the word. It’s always fun [...]
