Tiinker.com - News Aggregator

Tiinker is an intelligent news aggregator which learns what you like reading and adapts to each individual user's interests. It reduces the amount of content you need to sift through to find the stories which really interest you. tiinker works out what you like by determining what each story is about; it doesn't (just) use social recommendation. It also allows you to subscribe to your own RSS feeds, perform keyword searches, and more.

“tiinker is currently running a private beta version, which means that you need an invitation to use it. You can request an invitation here, or ask one of your already-hip friends for one.”

As the amount of content grows so fast online people need something to help them filter what their interested in from the chaff. The trend towards personalization is just beginning. tiinker is better than websites based on social recommendation (reddit, digg, etc.) because it is able to learn what each person likes individually, rather than assuming that everyone has the same interests. It's more than just an RSS reader with personalization, aimed, in fact, at users with no requisite knowledge of the underlying technologies.

When is the beta version be finishing? It would be nice if the site showed some preview of the finished site without having to be invited.
