Hi Mike-

That looks really interesting - just the sort of thing I could imagine our
library doing to show off new acquisitions.

It also resonated for me with a similar lookiing service that has just appeared
to help people manage feed link collections: Blogbridge Feed Library
(http://www.blogbridge.com/directory/).

I posted my thoughts about arranging a bokshelf of journal content feeds using
these bookshelf metaphors/interfaces here:

If I get a blogbridge trial account and make any progress with this, I'll post
links back to the list.
