Basically, it's a digital sock puppet show... http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/...may-be-a-robot

But it does hint at some GREAT things to come. Imagine......

Watching only news YOU are interested in
Playing a direct hand in how news is presented to you
Playing a big role in finding the right balance of news sources

Here's the company's link. gui.de

The guy in charge is the son of late British airlines tycoon Freddie Laker

The troubling thing about "customized" information is that you then end up living in an information bubble, hearing only ONE point of view which you are already predisposed to agree with.

To make informed opinions one needs to hear different, dissenting points of views.

That startup company is 50 feet away from my place. Been following it for a while, i have mixed feelings about it, will just have to wait and see how it goes.

Good point. The 'cafeteria' style approach to news raises more questions than it answers...
