Memigo.com - personal news aggregator

Worth checking out: "Memigo is a website for news junkies. Technically, memigo is an intelligent news agent: it goes out on the internet and it finds news articles, stories and editorials from "trusted", high quality sources."

When you log in to memigo as a registered user (try it: it's free and anonymous), memigo will give you its idea of the best links of the past 24 hours or more. Unlike a news or weblog aggregator (like NewsIsFree, Syndic8, Blogdex or Daypop), memigo tries to guess what news you personally will be most interested in.

How? When you visit memigo you are either explicity or implicitly rating each link that you see. Memigo compares your ratings to those of other users and rates links according to how people like you have rated them. It also keeps track of how you and others like you rate individual sites by using your link ratings. So, when memigo finds a new link, it gives it a rating based on its source, its referrals and its popularity among memigo users. In case you are wondering, yes this is very much like how Amazon Recommends suggests books that may be of interest to you. The added challenge for memigo is that links are short-lived, so fewer people are bound to see and rate them.
