Happy February! Many bloggers are in the midst of school, work, and/or NYFW prep. If you’re in Seattle like me, you are probably gearing up to cheer on our Seahawks in the Super Bowl parade today! Now that we’re back in the grind, how are your resolutions coming along?

With Google ringing the death knell for its RSS Reader application, the July 1 curtain call has kicked a number of companies into action as they vie for the market left by Google Reader’s closure. Digg has already thrown its hat into the ring, as it plans to build an RSS app with the best of Google Reader’s features. And Feedly is benefiting too. Earlier this week, another RSS service opened in public beta called Ping.it, offering an interesting feature called ‘Probes’ which lets users create very specific feeds based on keywords and popularity. Ping.it and probes Ping.it launched initially in private beta back in December, before Google revealed it was pulling the plug on Reader. At its most basic level, Ping.it is an RSS reader. But it’s the new Probes feature that’s particularly interesting. For example, if you only want to receive feeds on “YouTube videos on Reddit with more than 1,000 Likes”, you can create a Probe that taps both YouTube and Reddit to present this information directly in your feed.

... OwnerListens, a startup that spun out of a hummus shop in Palo Alto, is trying to give customers a more direct alternative to Yelp — and they’ve just raised over a million bucks to do it. Through OwnerListens, customers can send messages directly and anonymously to a business owner, who can then respond immediately via SMS. Feedback doesn’t have to be negative, of course — it can be positive, or even just a suggestion.
The logic behind OwnerListens is pretty straight-forward: if you give customers a direct, pain-free line to the owner, they’ll (hopefully) try to get things fixed instead of storming straight to Yelp to punch out a 200-word tirade. And because it’s anonymous and private, customers will — at least theoretically — be honest and upfront....
