I have often clicked on Loomia reccomended links at WSJ (i.e. the box on the right which says- "People Who Read this Also read"<BR/><BR/>I think the Loomia approach is pretty cool and a good balance between complete personalization and reading what the "editor" thinks is important versus what the crowd thinks is importantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-11665489721432301562008-03-04T13:38:00.000-08:002008-03-04T13:38:00.000-08:00You're assuming that news organisations are intere...You're assuming that news organisations are interested in making the reading experience quick and efficient. Wrong. New organisations are there to serve their *advertisers* who gain most when the readers become distracted and click on more pages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-69117950496593170942008-03-02T14:01:00.000-08:002008-03-02T14:01:00.000-08:00Great article in Spectrum on just how difficult it...Great article in Spectrum on just how difficult it is to personalize a news site. <BR/><BR/>It's almost the opposite of the challenge that reporters and editors have in writing a story for their particular audience. For example, three NBC operations, CNBC, MSNBC, and NBC all cover an event from three different angles. This makes it especially important for a recommendation engine to analyze the body of all three stories to make the best recommendation.<BR/><BR/>I'm still hopeful that personalized news will be adopted more. It would be good for readers and for advertisers who understand the value of one-to-one marketing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
