Daniel and I have been passionately working on TallyHoh for a while now. It’s an online feed reader at its core, but it has big aspirations to be much more than that. You can “tally” and “folly” items from your feeds to cast votes for them in either a positive or negative light. The votes are use to promote the greatest or most controversial topics of the moment.

For those not familiar with the concept, “feeds” basically provide a way to keep tabs on your favorite sites so you don’t have to visit them everyday to find out if they’ve been updated. Using a feed reader you can then subscribe to multiple feeds at once so you can read all of your blogs and news in one place.

We also made one big opinionated decision when we developed TallyHoh: we’re using OpenID exclusively. If you haven’t heard of OpenID, it’s a technological solution to the problem of user account overload. It lets you use a single account to access all of the sites that you visit. While it hasn’t seen mass adoption yet, it’s gaining a lot of momentum, and we feel confident enough in it to put our full weight behind it.

There’s still a lot to come, but we think TallyHoh has value as it stands today so we’re opening it up to let everyone try it out for themselves. We like the fact that our feeds are always online, and TallyHoh does a good job of keeping track of the things that you’ve read so you won’t see the same content twice.

Try it out, and let us know what you think.
