The Idea

The web goes so fast that its easy to miss something that you would have been interested in watching or reading because of the astronomical amount of choice you have. Some people choose to view various sites like Yahoo!, Digg, Slashdot or some of the local news sites for their daily viewing habits. Using various news and article feeds each users profile could be moulded through viewing figures and individual set preferences to set their ideal "page". When something new appears it could either notify you on a continuum scale of how appropriate it is to your interests, how many people have found the item useful and also allow you to keep the article link in your archive (Think del.icio.us). When the likelihood is higher than a certain percentage that you will like it, then it is passed to your recommended list so you can see a synopsis before viewing. If you didn't like it then you could teach the system to improve for next time.

I thought of this idea when I was...

I use sites like digg.com and various news sites and all it takes is one or two days away from the scene and you've missed all sorts of interesting bits and pieces. When they get reposted in a different format people are always complaining that this is old news and people always say, but I never saw it! I imagined not having to spend half my time browsing the various sites on the off chance there may be something of interest to me. I don't want to be lazy, I just don't want to miss something that I would really enjoy.

I think what you might need is an RSS reader, digg actually offers RSS feeds of all it's catigories.
