Anjo documents the experiment of creating a cooking ontology by running smart tools through the content of Chocolate and Zucchini:

• From Weblogs to Ontologies
• Cooking: Creating a Corpus
• Cooking: Utensils - Anjo, did you try correlating terms with (explicit) categories of the weblog to define higher level concepts? E. Dehillerin and knifes have something to do with Kitchen Paraphernalia and Paris City Guide...

Curious to know what Sigmund would say :)

What I really want is RSS reader that would allow me tagging feeds - folders do not scale anymore :(

May be it exists, but I'm suffering from not knowing - tell me then...

And, since I'm here - my ideal feed reader would*:

• be web-based synchronised with desktop client (so I can read feeds offline as well)
• let me read password-protected feeds
• let me tag feeds - no folders any more!!!
• have "remember" link under every post, creating a subset of posts per feed that I'd like to remember - and it wouldn't be the same as "keep new" of Bloglines that screws up the whole idea that number of unread posts indicates posts
• have "add to del.icio.us" link under every post (I don't want to use "remember" link for that - those I posts that I'm not able to categorise yet)
• let me track conversations (the data is there - one more step please)
• let me specify/switch between views:
  • for some feeds I like full-text view, for others headline view
  • sometimes I like to see posts per feed, but for some feeds I'd like to read together, mixed in a stream (something I miss from Radio newsreader experience)
  • sometimes I want to see new posts, sometimes all posts, sometimes only those in "remember" category
  • could be great to have "conversations" view - to see not posts per feed, but posts per conversation
  • could be great to have "what my friends read" view (thinking of NusEye + more) or use tags from other users...
• given all flexibility about views - I'd like to be able to specify which of them (does not) influence read/unread status
• let me share my subscriptions as a plain list without tags (because I don't feel comfortable letting people know how I categorise them)

* I'm using Bloglines now, so this refers to my experiences with it (= may be considered as "how to improve Bloglines" as well :)
