Content Discovery: RSS and the Power of Dynamic OPML Subscriptions

Content Discovery: RSS and the Power of Dynamic OPML Subscriptions | Infotention | Scoop.it

Howard Rheingold's insight:

This is advanced, but if you find RSS useful for tuning your incoming information streams about particular subjects and you are ready to use power-tools, OPML is the next step. After reading through the descriptive material and how-tos, note the list of OPML services that can generate OPML for you.

News Discovery: Track Any Topic Online with Ping.it Keyword Probes

News Discovery: Track Any Topic Online with Ping.it Keyword Probes | Infotention | Scoop.it
From ping.it - September 2, 2013 3:33 AM

Howard Rheingold's insight:

As usual, Robin Good is tracking the cutting edge in info-discovery. In addition to RSS feeds of persistent news searches and other kinds of searches and social media monitoring services like talkwalker.com, Ping.it looks like a potentially useful infotention tool (off to test it...)

Ping.it (review), a web app which allows you to monitor and discover relevant news in your areas of interest, has just introduced a new powerful feature with makes it possible to track any relevant content being published around a specific keyword.


Just specify the set of keywords or keyphrase you want to track, and almost instantly Ping.it provides you with a preview of relevant content items. 

Probes can be tailored to your specific needs, by applying specific search parameters and social popularity filters. It is also possible to exclude specific keywords. 



I find Ping.it and its keyword monitoring facility very effective and capable of bringing me only high quality results in my field of interest. I would not hesitate to recommend it to those who need to seriously monitor any topic.



Find out more about this feature: http://ping.it/blog/go-beyond-rss-with-keyword-probes/ 


Free to use.

Howard Rheingold's insight:

Robin Good is the curation maestro. Content discovery is the big end of the infotention funnel -- knowing how to find information relevant to your interests and to make use of channels that bring relevant information directly to you is step one in the infotention process.

News Discovery Tools: Slices for Twitter Organizes and Auto-Curates Your News Stream Into Categories

News Discovery Tools: Slices for Twitter Organizes and Auto-Curates Your News Stream Into Categories | Infotention | Scoop.it
From slices.me - August 2, 2012 5:29 AM

Robin Good: Slices is a news discovery app that allows you to find the news that interest you by "slicing" the Twitter timeline into topic-specific categories, making it much easier to find what you are looking for.

 

From Pandodaily official review: "Slices offers 21 searchable categories – humor, technology, sports, and so on – that lead you to people and lists to follow. Included among those top-level categories is the “Live Events” option, which allows you to select an event – a football match, say, or a TV show – and follow Tweets from a curated list.

Also of note: "...it synchronizes between mobile devices and the Slices website (slices.me), which means it knows which Tweets you’ve already read, no matter where you access it from.

 

...The “Timeline Slicer” also outdoes Twitter’s Lists as a way to organize the people you follow into specific categories. They’re easier to set up and easier to access, ..."

Slices is available on iOS, Android and the Web.

Discover News According To Your Preferred Interests: Prismatic

Discover News According To Your Preferred Interests: Prismatic | Infotention | Scoop.it
From api.twitter.com - April 10, 2012 2:45 AM

Robin Good: "Prismatic is a news discovery tool allowing you to select and specify the "interests" and topics on which you want to be kept up-to-date.

 

Once configured Prismatic offers a well laid out web-based magazine format in which you can pick and look at any of your preferred news topics.

 

Prismatic automatically provides detailed information about each news story it will present you, including the number of times it has already been shared and the relevant tags associated to it.

 

Initially Prismatic connects to your main social networks (FB and Twitter) to learn about your interests and then gradually learns with your help what kind of content you are most interested in. 

 

Prismatic has two ways to discover new interests: search and links to related feeds. Search can find topic and publisher feeds or you can create a new feed from a query. Each story has links to related feeds, which you can follow to explore new interests.

Have you tried it? How is it different from ScoopIt?
Robin Good's comment, April 10, 2012 8:44 AM
Hello Otir, yes I have.

Nothing to do with Scoop.it. This is good either to create a page where to see all of your preferred RSS feeds in a visual fashion, or to create out of your feeds a visual page that displays them all.
Otir's comment, April 10, 2012 5:25 PM
Thanks for your reply, Robin! I will look into it more in depth then! Seems really interesting... (so many new tools, so little time, though :-)
