The last months we’ve seen myFeedz, Touchstone and Attensa trying to solve Information Overload. The keyword with these services is Attention and next in line is Wizag. Wizag is an online feedreader that incorporates attention data and semantic analysis in regards to both your feeds and the larger community of Wizag users (Digg stylee). Like […]
Today I got an invitation to the private beta for myFeedz.com. myFeedz should be a social newspaper and find what’s important from the sea of information out there and shows you what you need to read. It learns from what you like and helps you keep up with your interests.
I signed up and had […]
Just found another feedreader which may be interesting: feeds.reddit.com. Reddit is a social service for what’s new and popular on the web (as you might know). Now they are testing this new online feedreader that keeps track of what you’ve read and haven’t read. Just like on reddit, you can vote on items you like. […]
myFeedz (”The social newspaper”) is a new Web 2.0 application that keeps an eye on topics you are interested in and also suggests fresh content based on your reading habits. It is still in private Beta (what’s not nowadays?) and should show the news based on topics you identify, your reading list or even an […]
Social Memory Complex:
The more content you queue up for yourself, the more time you need to take to sift through those articles, links, posts, etc. to find the worthy content and make sense of it - let alone make creative use of it. Indeed, one researcher has concluded that too much information can make you […]
Steve Rubel wrote about Touchstone this week. The application should be some sort of attention management engine, which streams RSS feeds to your desktop using a set of rules as a filter. This should allow you to customize what’s important when. The new FeedDemon 2.0 does the same thing and the beta of NetNewswire also […]
Attention is so 5 minutes ago, what we need are ‘Gestures’! I’ve just read an interesting post on zdnet.com (from Steve Gillmor) about GestureBank (via fredscapes.nl). The article is dated a while back but to be sincere I never heard of it before. Steve writes about the fact that current information is created in a […]
Robert Scoble, Microsoft’s prime blogger, chaired a session on Information Overload in BloggerCon III, an annual conference organized by Dave Winer. In this Overload session (podlink) we can listen to many requirements evolving around RSS readers, aggregators and filters. Users want their content to be filtered geographically; based on their social networks; based on authority […]
Craig Barnes, President and Founder of Attensa, writes on his blog about Attensa and believes attention is the holy grail to solving the emerging problem of information overload. I could not agree more. And in his opinion, the overload problem will be obvious to the masses once Outlook 12 (and IE7) introduce RSS capabilities to […]
Alex Barnett made a list with 20 thoughts relating Attention. A quick summary is that he thinks Attention data is much more than just clickstreams (check), it has to be an online/portable/shareable/secure service (check), there will be multiple, competing and overlapping Attention data formats (too bad, but I do think this will also be true). […]
