Spotback, a learning news aggregator
May 3rd, 2006
TechCrunch writes about a new personalized news service, Spotback. The idea certainly sounds intriguing – rating stories as more or less interesting using a slider will in a time give you a tailor-made news service.
I’ll try it using over the next few days as the concept and overall design is appealing, but as it is right now it suffers from clutter and “what do I do” confusion (a better blank slate design would be in order).
Privacy issues would also make me wonder about appeal to mainstream audiences.
