Wow. What a scathing remark about the stupidest start up! Inclue has a product and a customer base. Not only that, it's capabilities are outstanding. I may not be as technical as you...which is to say I am not as arrogant...but I use inclue with a great amount of success. Maybe you should try it. It takes all of the feeds that you want to get and puts them into an inbox in Outlook or Outlook Express. That way I can see how many emails have been sent to me about a certain topic and read them at my lesiure.
In addition, inclue has to be the easiest RSS reader to use. It puts an icon into your browser bar and allows you to just click on it when you are on a site that you want to get feeds from. Find me another reader out there that is FREE and allows you to take the feeds and put them directly into folders in your inbox so easily.
You think that just because the CEO made a mistake that he is awarded the stupidest startup of the year??? Great analysis.
They also have a good program called feedgit.com. Go there and it will search all of the RSS feeds on the internet. It may not be totally refined yet because it brings in a lot of stuff that you don't really want. But it is a great program to explore with.
Once a user puts inclue on their computer and gets the hang of it...they will love it. Have you installed it yet to try it?? Maybe you should.
Go ahead...download inclue...go to yahoo or google or feedgit and put in valleywag. Click on the inclue icon in your browser and go to Outlook. Anyone reading this can do the same thing. Just go to yahoo or google and type in your name or company and then click on the icon on the page. It will put the feeds right into your emails in folders.
After viewing this, can you really say this is the stupidest startup on the internet???
