Babelfeed.com – Creating The Feed To End All Feeds

Babelfeed.comA site that goes by a very suitable name, Babelfeed aims to take the many feeds that are available all over the World Wide Web and have them translated and amalgamated into a mega feed that can be browsed both by region and by category.

That is, aggregated articles can be filtered to include only the selected region and category (along with those below it) when you go for a specific country or topic.

And zooming in and out of categories is easily done – you will be able to contract and expand the number of articles which are displayed effortlessly.

The feeds are machine-translated into English – whenever you follow the link of a foreign language article a translator window will pop up automatically, and the article will be translated into English for reading convenience.

In this way, a space in which global dialog is made possible notwithstanding the actual language that people speak aims to be created. Babelfeed clearly intends to take cultural barriers down, and facilitate communication among different nations. That is a very noble aim, and regardless of how successful the whole initiative ends up being you have to give it credit for that.

Babelfeed.com In Their Own Words

“Babelfeed collects news feeds from around the world and organizes them by specific regions and categories; foreign language feeds are machine translated into English. When you select a region, articles are filtered to include only the selected region and those below it. Likewise when you select a category, only articles related to that category and those below it will be shown. You can zoom in and out of regions and categories to narrow or expand the number of articles displayed. When you follow the link of a foreign language article it will be opened in a special translator window and translated into english.”

Why Babelfeed.com It Might Be A Killer

It is quite a novel initiative – unifying the WWW in such a large scale is not something that people try to do that often.
