There are many startups that are trying to offer personalized news and meehive joins the fray today.
MeeHive is a new service launching today that is looking to give users a custom-tailored newspaper composed of stories from sources spanning a vast number of blogs and news sites. The site leverages the power of Kosmix, a universal search engine that pulls data from a variety of sources to produce comprehensive topic pages.
Newspaper is evolving and personalization is a key aspect of it. We want to consume only the news that we care about and on devices of our choice (laptop, mobile, kindle etc). This is inevitable and companies that try to fight this will suffer.
