NewsFeedJournal.com - Read the News that Matter

NewsFeedJournal.com is a new service that will allow you to read only the stuff you are interested in reading. Here’s how it works: the service automatically aggregates feeds from around the world in different languages, which it gathers from diverse sources (newspapers, magazines, news portals, corporate sites, blogs, etc), and then sorts out those individual feeds into channels and microchannels, which is the feeds that users receive. Thus users have the additional benefit of receiving only the kinds of news they are interested in, but they also get to know other sources they might not be familiarized with, plus since the service is available in a variety of western languages, it will be very useful for a large and international audience as well.

“This is an online newspaper that automatically gathers news headlines from all over the world, in different languages, from many sources (online versions of renowned publications, established websites, blogs, etc) - by using the RSS feeds provided by these sources -, groups the news by languages and topics and finally making them available to you in an organised manner thus making the reading of news that matter to you as easy as possible”.

As RSS use becomes massive, it also becomes increasingly difficult to make it serve any interesting news. Thus a service like this one, which is both simple and effective, is a great way to get you in touch with the news you want to hear about, and at the same time present you with stuff you can possibly be interested in as well.

Unlike similar aggregating services that are popping up everywhere, this one does not allow users to vote for the news they receive in order to keep getting similar stuff and avoid getting other kinds of news they are not interested to read. I don’t think NewsFeedJournal.com stands a big chance with a large audience unless it figures out some way to allow people to intervene in the feeds they receive. Will they be able to compete with similar services without these features?
