The summary for those in a hurry<p>"Ultimately the Personalized Newspaper must instantly deliver a meaningfully personalized experience upon sign up and continue to evolve with the user’s interests with no manual input required from the user - behavioral/interest data must be passively collected from multiple sources not just limited to user interactions with the newspaper. The consumption and discovery process includes data from friends, trusted topic curators, the general reaction of the entire audience, and most importantly a small amount of content that falls outside of these filters - allowing the user to discover new content and topics they may not have known about."
So far the closest I have found and been using with good success is from genieo.com
Their app run in background and monitor your browser history from what I am guessing and then extrapolate potential sites, news that could be of interest.
Since it is in active development some results can be awkward but overall I am a happy user and stumble upon some good articles that were not in my daily sites visits.
I am curious to see if anyone else share the same feeling.
"due to the difficultly of it, there have been no real successes so far."<p>That's possible. Or else it's just one of those things that sound good in theory but in practice never seem to be very useful.
