My wife peeks by the computer and notices my twitter account open, she asks what do you mean you just Toluu’d? So why not a better time to break it down to her about what Toluu is. Toluu is a like a supermarket for rss feeds i tell her. Toluu imports your current feeds and finds matches based on your feeds and interests. The service will search for other users with interests similar to yours, almost like a dating service and will display the best matches accordingly. Toluu is by no means a replacement rss reader, it’s more like an extension of it. Toluu’s core concept is to match users to content using algorithms behind the scenes to make it happen.

Toluu is not a feed reader. It is a utility that helps you discover interesting feeds and see what your friends and others actually read day-in and day-out.
What Toluu has to offer:
- You can sign up with OpenID.
- No learning curve, upload your opml file and the fun starts.
- Toluu bookmarklet for adding feeds directly in to your reader of choice.
- Feeds, Feeds and more Feeds!
- Activity Stream to see what your friends reading.
Toluu is still in beta, it is join by invite only. If your looking to try the service out please post a comment below and i will have an invite sent out to you.

As with all services in beta, there are growing pains, bugs and issues. Toluu welcomes all feed back and has a very public profile. I left off my general criticisms on this post because they all have been addressed publicly on Toluu's blog and on there FriendFeed room.

Thanks for the great write up Mike! As you mentioned, Toluu is not a feed reader replacement, it is simply a thin service that feeds your feed reader. Being able to see what other people are actually reading day in an day out is pretty cool. We are certainly open to all criticisms and feedback because Toluu exists because of our amazing users and their contributions.
If anyone would like an email please send me an email to caleb {at} toluu.com!

I would be interested in giving Toluu a try. I requested one on the site and will send an email out to Caleb.
Looks like an interesting way to see what is popular at the time. The feature where you can find similar feeds by users with similar interests is what has my attention!
