Greg Linden has a very interesting article about the current state and future of personalized news services up on IEEE Spectrum online.
He does a great job at looking at the technical issues and limitations behind personalized news services and, I think, makes a good argument for how these algorithms can be a very useful tool […]

As had been rumoured in the last few days, Ask.com has launched a new memetracker - Big News.
A lot of the discussion today focused on the collaboration with Digg.com that is part of the site and apparently also part of the algorithm that decides the freshness of any given story. Working with Digg clearly gave […]

I guess very little is happening this weekend. How else to explain this post by Michael Arrington over on TechCrunch: Vimeo Founder Fired, Does A Bong Hit.

Slowly the first reviews of My Times are trickling in. You can find my take here.
PaidContent has a short review up now.
They also point to the sluggishness of the service. First thoughts: Smart idea to start in very limited fashion. It’s sluggish right now and still very much a work […]
