Blogory RSS feeds
July 5th, 2004“Findory Blogory just launched a new and unusual feature: personalized, aggregated, and adaptive RSS feeds. The RSS feed is personalized, so every reader gets a unique feed with articles that match his or her interests. The feed aggregates weblog articles from thousands of other weblogs, combining all the weblogs into one RSS stream and helping readers find and discover new articles and new weblogs. And Blogory’s feed is adaptive, learning your interests as you read articles from the feed and changing the RSS feed to more closely match your interests.”
I’m going to test this out a bit. I ran a couple of searches, clicked on a couple of links so that Blogary would start to know my preferences, and grabbed my feed. We’ll see what comes up. There are also personalized feeds for Findory news, of which I am also testing out. As these tools get smarter, I wonder what the future will be like for manual personalized tools (ie Pubsub). At this point, I think that manually personalized tools will continue to thrive as the user has more control over the content. But you never know…
