Spotback’s shining moment
Awhile ago I wrote about the lack of applications using RSS in methods that will be useful to the non-technical crowds. Most of the applications that use RSS lacking the vision of turning from RSS aggregator, in whatever form, into a personalize news/knowledge source.
An interesting and very promising attempt in the right direction is the service offered by spotback, an Israeli startup that tries to deliver personalize newspaper instead of aggregations of RSS feeds. Tech Crunch provides a very comprehensive review of spotback’s different features and give the company a well deserved good review.
I differ from Mike’s assessment that spotback is in competition with services like netvibes. Unlike these services spotback making attempts to learn what interest you, instead of what feeds you want to subscribe too. spotback is an attempt to to provide the masses real alternative to the old media and is on the right track to be tomorrow’s newspaper.
I have a strong feeling that before long we are going to see more attempts in taking RSS use to the next level. However today spotback is shining alone and it deserve all the compliment that it will surely get.
