Take a voyage of discovery with RSS

Voyage: Nice try but not quiteI don’t know about you but I’m getting a little bit bored of RSS. There are zillions of feed readers out there now, but I still find it a bit of a chore to wade through all the headlines looking for something interesting. That’s why my ears pricked up when I heard about Voyage, an online app that presents feeds in an innovative new way.

Posts are arranged in a 3D timeline complete with fancy perspective and colour-coding. You can zoom around this slick information space using nothing more than your mouse. It’s easy to add new feeds and Voyage will open a story in a new window when you click on a headline.

Like many times in my life before I was initially dazzled by Voyage’s beauty only to be left a little disappointed by the overall package. I found the blurry headlines a little unreadable and when I add certain feeds Voyage gets all confused and stacks each story on top of each other. Nevertheless, with a bit of ironing out, this could be a much more exciting way of getting the news.
