The New York Times have also come up with a boring name (MyTimes) for a kewl personalised home page service. MySpace Grand Pimp Daddy not in terms of name. But its pretty kewl you can subscribe to external sources, I think. (minus the differentiation questions and edge vs aggregation etc questions) It cant be long till every major online newspaper uses this new thing called Really Simple Syndication to let people monitor and subscribe to those topics, authors, classifieds and whatever micro-content they want. New York Tines Redesign : "Finally, we are very excited about a personalized page called MyTimes that will let you organize your favorite Web sources of information — from NYTimes.com and elsewhere — and view them at a glance. Personalized pages aren't new on the Web but ones offering the guidance of Times editors, reporters and critics are. More than two dozen Times journalists are offering their picks of sites that should engage you, whether you're interested in baseball or climate change, politics or recipes. MyTimes is currently under development but will be opening to a wider audience later this month. You can sign up now to be among the first invited to try it."
