TechCrunch writes this morning about Fever, a personalized RSS reader from Shaun Inman. I’ve been a fan of Mr. Inman’s for a long time, having bought installations of Mint, his stat-tracking program, for several of my sites. From TechCrunch:

Besides offering a full-featured feed reader, the application attempts to create a personalized Techmeme by scanning a user’s feed list for popular (or hot) links. Fever then groups these links into stories and assigns each a “temperature.” This allows a user to quickly keep a pulse on what’s going on in his or her “slice of the web.”

I’m glad to see that other smart people are trying to solve the same problems that I am. Helping people make the most of their limit time and attention is one of the biggest challenges of the next couple of years. Fever is an interesting take on it.
