Blogofy: personalised reader
Just found Blogofy via Micro Persuasion…it seems to be an RSS reader (alpha) that tracks what you read so it can place items it thinks you like to the top of the heap. At the same time the user can get involved as each item has a link that says “more” and another that says “less”…this implict and explicit tracking of news item reading alludes to the concept of attention data (I haven’t yet seen rating each item in any RSS reader, something Alex Barnett is all for…see more).
At the moment you can’t even add your own feeds…I suppose this is how Findory started out, until they released Findory Favourites (the user can at last define the sources of their news, and Findory will group top items from these feeds and also recommend others…or you can read as per normal RSS reader).
So I guess it’s say hello to a new personalised reader and bye to an old one.
