I have read about a system (?prototype) developed at the
MIT Media Lab, which extracts news of relevance to a
*particular* reader, and customizes it to the reader's
preference, and presents it to her in a multimedia
electronic form. For example, this system would highlight
sports stories (perhaps, specifically, tennis stories) for
a sports (tennis) fanatic. It would prominently display
Chicago weather if you planned to take a trip there.
I have a few questions about this and related systems:
1. If you have a contact (name + email address) for
the person(s) who developed the system above, could
you please mail it to me?
2. If you know of any similar systems (multimedia, or just
plain text), could you please send whatever you have:
contact names, addresses, email addresses, bibliographic
references -- anything relevant?
I would appreciate any help in this. Many thanks.
