- ableal 17y agoInteresting: "California software giant" is the tag the WP writer puts on Google. (I put in a search to see what the net had on those words - seems mostly Oracle and a company with the SG name.)
- j_b_f 17y agoThis is a pretty fun project. Nice, lightweight, combines multiple sources. Kind of embarrassing for the news outlets though that google can produce a better version of a full-feed experience than they can.
- ggruschow 17y agoGreat, they're going the exact opposite direction of what I'm willing to pay for. I wish my local paper(s) would cancel their Monday through Saturday editions and concentrated on one great Sunday paper. I'd pay ten times as much for clear, concise, complete "dead" stories on dead trees.
- allenp 17y agoExactly - tell me all the local stuff without all the AP global/national stuff in between. I would absolutely subscribe to this and would even prefer it to an online version.
- rationalbeaver 17y agoLooking at this made me realize that the only news sites I really like, and actually use on a daily basis, consist essentially of a simple list of headlines. The simple presentation makes it easy to select the stories that interest me enough to read while still giving an overview of the rest. While the 'follow a continuing story' idea is interesting (and the presentation here is impressive), it's not something that I value. I find that I follow stories naturally, and often across multiple sites and even media types. I don't really need to see it all in one place, all at once.

- amandle 17y agoThis is somewhat similar to a site I have been working on. http://www.newsdive.net http://www.newsdive.net I am doing filtering based on story content, but this seems to be based on tags and categories more.
- the_real_r2d2 17y agoSame question (as I posted in the main thread), if it possible to you to answer. Are you using machine learning, human editoring or both?
- amandle 17y agoAt the moment it's pretty simple matching based on a few rules, but machine learning is in development. In the case of google, it appears they are using human editors.
- the_real_r2d2 17y agoThanks and good luck!
- the_real_r2d2 17y agoI wonder if they are using machine learning, humans editors or both.
