NewsHutch - new take on RSS

NewHutch is an infant newsreader that I have been running through the Russell Page test labs (my living room), and my first impression is that I like how user-oriented and simple it is. You don’t even have to know the address of the feed, just the address of a website (good idea for mass adoption).

The interface seems to use some sort of Ajax, and it’s very minimal at this point, but it’s also still in beta. (They don’t say it’s in beta, but it is). The good part is that this service has just enough meat that people will use it, and my guess is that they will then expand it specifically around what users ask for. Brilliant.

Cool Features
- Remove posts from your interface right on the fly.
- Easily import an OPML file from another feed reader.
- Simple. Simple. Simple.
- Keyboard shortcuts.
