For people who are newer to RSS Readers, front-ends are important. We are still thinking about all of this aspect.<br /><br />I'm not sure I buy the value proposition on Filtrbox - it seems like it social search more than anything. I guess it's using social signals, but it misses the curation and editing that I feel is important to get to good value.<br /><br />@ramblingsfromafrica - thanks for the kind words.Tony Karrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408035995182843336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-55829401722420790192009-10-01T22:27:14.577-07:002009-10-01T22:27:14.577-07:00Thanks for the mention Tony!

When I said customizable solutions I meant ...Tony,<br /><br />When I said customizable solutions I meant the personalized or custom dashboards.<br /><br />Dashboards which wouldn't require the user to know how to code in php, perhaps just to move widgets around. iGoogle and Netvibes are prominent examples of automated, but customizable information dashboards. Given that Netvibes allows you to publish your page as an actual URL, it seems like the superior option (even as its UX is rough given text size).<br /><br />One innovation in this space is Filtrbox (or which will potentially come to this space). To me the filter provided by Filtrbox is pretty much the best I've seen--even better than the one provided by Google alerts. (Google alerts gives you NYC ball scores when searching for NYC searches). Unfortunately, its a) private b) paid beyond 3 searches c) has some user issues. But overall the best coverage of quality in a given area. Filtrbox promises automated curation of user created content. A Filtrbox widget would be awesome--if it existed. For instance, installed on an internal wiki or external blog, Filtrbox, I think could self-curate (without Digg-style ranking or Technorati/Ebay style authority or trust. Although, that could definitely provide another filter.)<br /><br />NathanCompassioninpoliticshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607367187371572427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-44482087710968533902009-10-01T08:49:28.451-07:002009-10-01T08:49:28.451-07:00Thanks for the kind words.

Hands down I would recommend it as the best model in this space.<br /><br />Locally, we have http://www.nashvilleistalking.com/<br />which I think is equally simple (from my limited tech understanding. Of course, Alltop is probably the most popular automated aggregator--or certainly very high on the list.<br /><br />I wish the customizable solutions in this space were more aesthetically pleasing and used 11 or 12 point as a standard font (NetVibes, Yahoo Pipes, and others)<br /><br />Heres the most recent book on the topic, although its more for design-types:<br />http://uxdesign.com/user-experience-design-books/article/information-dashboard-design/35Compassioninpoliticshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607367187371572427noreply@blogger.com
