I was thinking about the problem with RSS that I wrote about earlier tonight.

The basic problem is too much information too quickly without a way to filter it into the stuff that you want to read.

So I started thinking, as I usually do, about system that filters these articles or posts based on existing technology, tags. In my head, I was thinking about digg.com in specific but I’m sure that it could apply to other sites as well.

Basically, here is how it would work: When people upload their content they would have to tag their posts. Then you would have your own personalized login page where you could define the tags that you are interested in. Using the tags that you are interested in, it generates a custom RSS feed with only the content that you want to read.

Hrrm…not a bad idea. Personalization and tags? Slap a web 2.0 sticker on this sucker and ship it!
