minekey CEO Delip Andra told me that minekey will help users find content they may find desirable by comparing their interests against populations of other users.
minekey algorithms then go to work returning links to relevant content. minekey, which had hoped to launch yesterday, is now shooting for tomorrow: we’re looking forward to it.
Another startup, Adaptive Blue, makes a contextual search plug-in for Mozilla called Blue Organizer which attempts a similar feat in the browser. Right clicking gives you a list of what may be similar content. minekey’s approach is different (and I’m not sure I can say what it is until launch). More info TK tomorrow, I hope.
BTW, we’re starting a context category on this blog in the very near future. I think context is fast becoming one of the most important issues in providing advanced web services, like discovery (the topic of a session this morning. Stay tuned…
