The guys from Kosmix and MeeHive are kindly sending me a free Kosmix team jacket because, as with FriendFeed here, I've been plaguing the devs with bugs and suggestions for ages now and they want to thank me. How lovely! So with Twine, FF and now Kosmix I'm doing well for free stuff but appreciate the thank you for my efforts in helping them. :-)
So while I'm here I thought it only right to do a bit of a promo. Kosmix is my top alternative search engine to Google, for example if you search for FriendFeed here: http://www.kosmix.com/topic...? you get a bio from Wikipedia, how-to guides from ehow, conversations from Mahalo and questions and answers from Yahoo! Answers. You get the groups on Facebook, videos from YouTube, images from Google and then news and blogs from various place - all on one page. Check it out at http://www.kosmix.com/

It's pretty flexible and if you're good with your searches/filters on FriendFeed you'll have no trouble tailoring this for you needs, e.g. here's a small page for my FriendFeed filter: http://www.meehive.com/interes.... You can pick the topics you want to see on the page and how many articles to show. Editing the Interests is pretty straightforward. I've suggested lots of...

I'd have to dig out all my suggestions, if I can anyway, and think one the one main one. There is lots that could be done with the service, lots! :-) Thanks again guys! :-D

I have to check my MeeHive account again. I haven't visited it since the new features where added.

coldbrew: it's sort of like that, but more like a personalized newspaper and it includes things like blogs and twitter too.

Kinda reminds me of what you guys were talking about on the gillmor gang the last time. How newspapers have that "browse through" value. This sorta has the same browse and put away value as a newspaper. Realtime feeds like friendfeed can be too much for some people and sometimes you just need to get a quick overview before you run out the door or on the train.. This might actually be good for that. interesting

Is it possible to see more entries for "Recent News"? Right now, it seems to be fixed at 16 entries on the web. For the iPhone app, the number of news items in each interest is a lot higher.

Anand, Venky: You're my esteemed colleagues and pals, but look: if you don't want to be compared to Google, don't ride scooters around the office. 'Nuff said.

Funny, for some reason my boss cut that article out of the NYT and put it on my desk and asked me what I thought of it. I wish I had had your witty comeback at the ready.
