RSS and site feeds are the DVR of the internet.

Just thought I'd get that one in there. If you need to market it to someone, call it that.

Come to think of it, that is a smoking hot idea. There really is no TiVo of the internet feed reader.

You don't star your subscriptions. Your feed reader doesn't crawl out on the internet looking for more content like what you're already "recording". You can't set up a wish list... and there's no real clearinghouse of feeds (listings) or the semantic links between them (read Coding Horror? you may also like Joel on Software). I know the analogy is not perfect, but it sure seems like fertile ground...
