What is Lazyfeed?
Have you tried fly-fishing? You stand in the middle of a stream of river or creek. You look into the stream and see lots of fish swimming around. You cast and reel. It’s fun.
Lazyfeed turns the Web into a stream of everything you love, and lets you enjoy “fishing”. Express yourself without even trying.
