John Palfrey, Ethan Zuckerman and I have been messing around with the
newsilike.com experimental site that allows
1. filters to be bound to RSS feeds,
2. clusters
of bound and unbound RSS feeds to be grouped and
3. displayed in
flexible categories or tags, and
4. the resulting news mix to be posted dynamically on the
web for all to see,
5. in montages displayable by category, time, or source.
Very interesting news gestalts emerge.
Sort of like “news playlists” as John wrote this afternoon.
Here are six somewhat idiosyncratic newsilike news playlists:
