MyToday newsmastering
MyToday is the latest newsmastering tool, but at the moment you can’t make your own.
To take part send in an OPML or set of feeds so a Daily can be created…I assume you will be able to do this yourself in the future.
The Dailies created so far have been categorised into sections.
What this has over other newsmastering tools is that you can organise your Daily into topics…besides this MyToday has a long way to go…seems like a great start so far.
Actually reading the content is not a river of news, so this makes it different reading than services like Blogdigger Groups, MySyndicaat, SuprGlu, etc…
What you see in a Daily is a set of boxes, each box is a topic containing a subscription set of feeds, when you click on a feed title it expands to show the latest posts.
The top bar allows you to click recent, a calendar, expand/collapse topics, and the OPML Reading List (this is the only one besides Blogdigger Groups and MySyndicaat that generates an OPML URL).
This type of newsmastering has more in common with the widget presentation of 24eyes, fyuze, etamp, etc…
Of course you could try Bozpages to see all the views: river of news, widget, tagcloud.














Hi John, yes you are right on most things about MyToday. Let me clarify on some lines:
1. river of news - you can see by clicking ‘recent’ at the top of each daily
2. yes, in future, you will be able to make your own. We just learning initially and improving things (beta)
we will be slowly explaining these things in our blog. will get back to you with your ‘reading list’ soon.
