Lazyfeed - a reader of short stories

New webapp Lazyfeed is a reader of short stories based on themes from the latest offering focuses on topics that interest you instead of providing new content for specific sites Lazyfeed updates whenever something new is based on one of their pieces of interest.

The idea behind the service is great if you're not that dedicated to their favorite blogs and news media, but lacking if you have some favorite sites you want to follow, in addition privileged groups. I guess that's all "lazy" to Lazyfeed: The content comes to you, and you must go through the effort to add the feed after feed your news reader.

So while we can not imagine leaving our feed readers dedicated to Lazyfeed, it seems like a small step from Nice in the world of news readers for people who just are not ready to take the step something like Google Reader.
