Kevin Burton, one of the founders of Rojo, has a new service out called TailRank. Beta was announced today. The basic idea is that blog postings that are relevant to you are likely part of the reputation network that is defined by your blogroll. By uploading your OPML file to TailRank, you create a personalized relevance filter.
He’s got a bunch of cool features, including the ability to include relevant posts from other people’s blogs on your own blog. Check out the "TailRank Recommended" section in the right sidebar on this blog if you want to see it in action.
This is a whole lot like the email filter I use today which prioritizes email based on whether or not I know the person mailing or not. Very clever!
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
