Move over ‘MyGoogle’ – I’ve found a better tool

I’ve long been a fan of the personalised page that Google allows you to create through selecting RSS feeds and adding them to your selection. But, thanks to Poynter, I’ve discovered an even better, more intuitive tool, called Wikio. It’s a personalised news service, but based on keywords as well as RSS feeds. Yes, I know you can create an RSS feed based on a keyword, but Wikio just does it much more intuitively, and makes it easier.

That’s not all – there’s a built-in social recommendation-type feature which recommends additional keywords based on the ones you’ve selected. And there’s a ‘Publish’ feature which allows you to create material yourself.

The only downside at the moment is that the generic and unpersonalised ‘news’ tabbed page is always the default – so you have to click on your personalised tabbed page to begin surfing.
