“authority aggregator”

7 Comments

A client of mine needs something built.
Basi­cally, it’s an “autho­rity aggre­ga­tor” like Memeo­ran­dum, Megite, Tail­rank etc.
But ins­tead of it being about tech or poli­tics or wha­te­ver, it aggre­ga­tes sto­ries spe­ci­fi­cally per­tai­ning to my client’s industry, iden­ti­fies the most autho­ri­ta­tive sto­ries from the most autho­ra­ta­tive sour­ces, and then posts them online in sim­ple, aggre­ga­ted form.
So if you think you can help and could use some busi­ness, please drop me an e-mail. Thanks.

    I tend to use del.icio.us/popular/whatever for that sort of think. Perhaps not ideal, but it’s a quick, cheap, and easy solution.

    We’ve built such a thing and you can use it for free at eyeout.com. Create a Smart Feed and train it with feed­back. So the user gets to decide what the mea­ning of ‘autho­rity’ is. It publishes over RSS auto­ma­ti­cally or manually.

    Our pro­duct Leiki Focus can be used for this (www.leiki.com). We use an IPTC-based onto­logy with 20k cate­go­ries for dyna­mic news trac­king with exis­ting cus­to­mers inc­lu­ding busi­ness news­pa­pers such as Finan­cial Times and con­tent aggre­ga­ting por­tals like Sina.com.

    Topix.net is good sug­ges­tion by Gabe. Or you could drop Matthew Chen of Megite.com a note.
