Personalization


Thanks to Matthew. I’v got my personalized megite page here. This is made from my bloglines subscriptions. So they should be what’s hot in my reading list.

As my first glance, there’re some posts from blogs that never updated, like some from TechEd blog. Megite shows these posts are from 4 hours ago, but actually they are months old. Because they never show up in bloglines, I haven’t removed these feeds. But never mind, let’s keep watching. I believe this is a one time problem.

I have noticed personalization feature of TailRank is hidden for some time. The personalization feature used to be called local view in this service. In my early days trying this service, local view is my start page of the site. It’s in this address:

http://tailrank.com/posts/depth/local

As of this writing, the link is still work, but hidden from the homepage.

Why tailrank is doing this? Is this the performace issue? I do feel tailrank a bit lag in early days. And another personalized search engine Searchfox seems never out of beta because of scaling problem.
