Feedster view

Feeds dont provide additional info. What is coming along in the future? The growth of feeds index grew 5 fold last year from 5 million to 30 million feeds. Ability to qualify and quantify is a big challenge. Relevancy is more and more important. Bloggers meander around topics so can find common theme. Feedster is doing more and more syndication identifying conversations overlaid with news stories. Can be a world news story, sports etc. Simple example, Boston Globe wanted fans to comment on Boston Redsox game. read last night's story and see what fan was base was saying. Diifuclt to deal with dynamic content. Globe is a conservative property so they didnt cut out much surprisingly. A few years ago editors would not have allowed consumer generated content.
