Info Aggregator

I just got myself an account with Info Aggregator. I had seen Rajesh use this application when I met him last.

Unlike Newsgator, there is no install involved here. You register for an account and use it like a normal email account. Rajesh's post mentions that it's an IMAP account, but I could not set it up using IMAP on Outllook. It works fine as a POP account.

There are a few problems like effectively setting filters for Outlook. Though there is the ability to use a server side filter using seive, I did not try it. The challenge with using Outlook filters is that all the emails come from the same email ID, so it becomes difficult to add filters. My current Outlook filters use a content based filtering which is the least reliable of all filtering mechanisms. Also it does not allow you to subscribe to feeds that do not use the rdf/xml extension (example)

Anyway, I do see a lot of potential in it if some of these interaction related issues are ironed out...

Good work Rajesh and Co.
