CNet: Read It Later turning bookmarks into news pages
Instead of just a list of links, you get a continually updated graphical news digest page that automatically categorizes your links.
“Read It Later’s new trick is one that long-time users with little time to waste are likely to enjoy. The bookmarking service, which was designed to help people organize and view bookmarks from multiple computers, is launching (in beta) a “digest” that will convert a person’s bookmarks into a news page that’s sorted by category.
A few years ago this could have been considered a simple exercise in machine tagging.
Where Digest does things a bit differently is to automatically create these categories based on what people are saving, so say you never bookmarked stories about business or world travel–they’re just not going to show up as categories. However, if either of those things are topics you wish to turn into categories, the tool lets you create your own filters by keyword.”
