Recommended Findory Features
I have some features I would like to see in Findory, just my two cents:
- More RSS feeds options, like being able to choose the amount of results in a feed and different feeds for different categories. I just find myself using the site so much, I wouldn't mind getting the Top 20 results, or even two different RSS feeds: one for top stories, and one for tech news.
- The ability to list which sites you already get feeds from. I keep seeing posts listed that I have already read, because I subscribe to those feeds. I know Findory wants to replace those feeds, thus helping ease the burdens on servers, but some users would rather use it not to do that but to discover new blogs and new info. If I could list in my preferences all the blogs I subscribe to (and my own blog), so I don't see them in the results, that would be really useful. And if Findory based its results on what I am already reading, even better.
- Same accounts for Findory News and Findory Blogory. I realized that even though I created an account in Findory Blogory, I still didn't have one in Findory News. Is this practical?
- Tags bloggers could place in their posts that would indicate the appropriate category to Findory, if different from the default.
- This may be asking too much, but maybe a "no" button to indicate posts or blogs I'm simply not interested in.
And no, my suggestions have absolutely nothing to do with my recent realization that Findory's CEO just might read them. No, not at all. No siree. Right.

Hi, Nathan. Thanks for the suggestions!
These are excellent ideas. We do hope to extend and improve the RSS feeds soon. Great idea on unifying the Findory and Blogory accounts. Rating articles (a "thumbs down" or "not interested") is something we hope to offer soon. The idea of having users vote to recategorize or correct articles is clever; we'll add that to our list.
Thanks again, Nathan! We always appreciate hearing suggestions from our readers.

Glad to help, Greg. I've been using the site for only a few days, and I'm so badly hooked. It's one of the sites I keep open the entire time I'm on the internet. Great work from you guys!
