rollSense
“rollSense: your blogroll on steroïds!” - Josh Catone from ReadWriteWeb
rollSense has been designed for bloggers and their readers and was released in beta early August 2007.
rollSense automatically recommends to readers content related to what they read on the blog.
Content comes from the sources the blogger has selected, e.g. the blogroll or any other sources. This puts your blogroll on steroïds!
rollSense is a fully customizable widget to install in the side bar of a blog or within a post, like the one you can see … on the right hand side (rollSense shows most recent posts from a list of web 2.0 blogs).
rollSense works and extracts recommendations from any language.
rollSense extracts relevant keywords from the post being read, then searches across the sources selected for related content. rollSense works with RSS feeds.
rollSense can be used in three modes:
- Automatic recommendation mode
- Display of most recent posts from the selected sources
- Display of posts filtered by specific keywords
rollSense will grow into:
- rollSense Networks, a social utility where users create their own blog network by letting blogs alike join the network and using rollSense to cross reference one another
- a system to place targeted ads based on the context we draw from each post
And more important, ads revenues will be shared with the blogger and her/his network.
