Wizag offers semantic analysis, attention to RSS

RSS is world changing technology, but it risks getting bogged down in information overload. The simple solution is a system like MyYahoo where a limited number of feed items are displayed and the interface is most conducive to subscribing to a small number of feeds. The power user needs a lot more, though, and the holy grail for many RSS feed reader developers is a working relevance engine. The newest player in this field is Wizag. It’s an online feed reader that incorporates attention data and semantic analysis in regards to both your feeds and the larger community of Wizag users. It recommends topics, visualized points of intersection between topics and new feeds based on your interaction with the subscriptions you already have. The implementation is a little slow and it’s nothing pretty to look at, but the technology is interesting. The company says it aims to release an enterprise edition later this month. Unless this is a radically different tool based on the same technology it probably doesn’t stand a chance against Attensa, but for now the personal edition of Wizag is worth a look. → Read More
