Just because you subscribe to an RSS feed doesn't mean you want to read every single thing in that feed. What if you read Download Squad just for Brad Linder's posts, or you're only interested in posts about Google? FeedScrub might be what you're looking for. It lets you vote each of your RSS articles up or down, training it to only display the stuff you care about. You then subscribe to the scrubbed feed in your reader, and you're good to go.Filed under: Text, Utilities, Video
While China has a history of blocking computer users' access to many sites on the world wide interwebs, many clever Chinese citizens have figured out that RSS feeds provided a way around the Chinese firewall. Until now.Filed under: Business, Developer, Internet, Security, Web services, Google, Search, web 2.0

Generally speaking I am leery of any software designed to "protect" people from "harmful" sites, but Scandoo I like. Scandoo is a search engine that tells you, or at least tries to tell you, whether each site in the results is safe (i.e. free from porn, fascism, or illegal content) or not. I like it because it doesn't hide those "bad" sites from you, it just puts an icon next to each result that says whether it's safe, has "bad" content, or if there's a web risk (e.g. spyware). I also like it because it lets you choose what kind of sites you want to be warned about. If you're cool with sites classified as Sex/Nudity but want to be warned about Fashion and Beauty sites, you can configure it that way. When you hover over one of the classification icons, a little box pops up to give you more information about the site's content and, if you disagree with its classification, let you offer your own opinion. Another nice touch is that Scandoo lets you choose whether you want results from Google, Yahoo!, MSN Search, or Ask.com. Of course, one sticking point that will always haunt this sort of service is that you're trusting someone else to set your standards. For example, Scandoo gives BMEzine.com a nice green checkmark (and files it under Fashion and Beauty), and while I'm a big fan of that site, I can easily see other users disagreeing.Filed under: Web services
Like Download Squad but sick of
hearing about Vista? Or maybe those Time Wasters are really wasting too much of your time? Try Feed Rinse. It's a service that looks at your RSS feeds (OPML import included) and
filters out posts based on keywords, author, tags, URLs, or even profanity. Feed Rinse scrubs the feeds and then
republishes them so you can still read them in your feed reader of choice.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
