OneSpot’s system finds top stories for a specific topic area by evaluating story linking patterns across the Web. This approach allows providers to complement their content without requiring a large existing archive of previously published work.
From LouisGray.com:
“Already in place at the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, as well as some more vertically-oriented sites, OneSpot enables anybody to leverage the service’s more than 250,000 RSS feeds to design and configure a personal meme, simply by starting with a few “trusted” RSS feeds, and letting OneSpot do the hard work of finding similar feeds on the same topic, and then determining the most popular content.
The result is a highly customizable personal memetracker that can be displayed on a full Web page or as a widget, drawing from the criteria you set, and publishing as frequently as you would like.”
