> Do people really want recommendations?
I do. Or rather, I want a service that will filter out the crap I don't want to see and bubble the relevant content to the top. In my job I have to keep an eye on loads of feeds, and it's almost always worthless dross, but I can't tell that it's worthless until I've seen it.
- java-man 10y agoTry http://news-ai.com/ http://news-ai.com/ May or may not work for you due to some bias in selection of feeds.
- mpweiher 10y ago> but I can't tell that it's worthless until I've seen it. So how do recommendations help?
- Veen 10y agoI meant that of all the feeds, a small proportion of the content is valuable. I have to look at the non-valuable content to determine that it isn't valuable. I would like it if an automated system could score the content based on my criteria and behavior, reducing the amount of non-valuable content I have to filter manually. As I understand it, that's the functionality Winds promises, but it only does it with a predetermined set of feeds, which isn't useful to me.
- greglindahl 10y agoNewsblur has that feature. I don't use it, so I don't know how well it works.
- Veen 10y agoYeah, it works reasonably well, but you have to manually set filters and keywords, which is a drag.
