"Your current feed reader is full of unread items. You’re hesitant to subscribe to any more feeds because you can’t keep up with your existing subs. Maybe you’ve even abandoned feeds altogether. Fever takes the temperature of your slice of the web and shows you what’s hot."

-excerpt from Shaun Inman’s FeedAFever.com site.

Fever is self hosted (meaning that you download the application and install it on your web server) and Shaun’s automated process for verifying your server’s compatibility is extremely well done. At first I was hesitant to get a web app that I had to host myself? Of course I realized that I already have my own cloud (this site)… why not expand my cloud, begin to rely less on the greater interweb. Not to mention eliminating additional recurring SaaS fees. Maybe soon I will host my own Harvestapp, Basecamp, etc… I’d gladly pay a one-time license fee to host my own application.

I used Fluid fluidapp.com to create a MenuExtra SSB for my easy access to Fever.

Bravo Shaun! I’ll actually be reading my feeds again.
