How do you judge what content from another outlet is just repeating what you already know and what's new? It gets pretty tedious seeing further articles that are largely duplicates of what you just read.
- atrus 11y agoActually, my dad had this same idea a few years back. I tried to build it, but it's hard to do. Your options are: 1. Stick to the same source, crawl the pages for updates 2. Figure out the topics of the story, and do a sort of "Google Alerts" for those topic, and filter to things that are relevant. 3. Go user generated. You submit a story you're interested in, other users can look through lists of "un-updated" stories, and if they find an update they can get "points", since everybody loves internet points. Good luck, if anyone manages to do it, let me know, my dad would love to use it.
