"authority aggregator"
A client of mine needs something built.
Basically, it's an "authority aggregator" like Memeorandum, Megite, Tailrank etc.
But instead of it being about tech or politics or whatever, it aggregates stories specifically pertaining to my client's industry, identifies the most authoritative stories from the most authoratative sources, and then posts them online in simple, aggregated form.
So if you think you can help and could use some business, please drop me an e-mail. Thanks.

Posted by: Ken Dyck at April 24, 2006 12:34 PMWe've built such a thing and you can use it for free at eyeout.com. Create a Smart Feed and train it with feedback. So the user gets to decide what the meaning of 'authority' is. It publishes over RSS automatically or manually.
Posted by: aaron at April 24, 2006 1:27 PMOur product Leiki Focus can be used for this (www.leiki.com). We use an IPTC-based ontology with 20k categories for dynamic news tracking with existing customers including business newspapers such as Financial Times and content aggregating portals like Sina.com.

I've got a colleague who built TalkDigger (www.talkdigger.com), and I've sent him this blogpost ....
