TheNextWeb likens Readness to Last.fm, and I have to agree that it's an apt comparison. This new article recommendation service tracks what you read (and what your friends read, if you choose to connect with them) and generates suggestions for online reading material that you shouldn't miss. Basically, Readness scrobbles news articles the way that Last.fm scrobbles songs. To use Readness, you ...

There are plenty of ways to save an article for later reading. Read it Later and Instapaper are just two of them.

Adobe released its first look at the newly re-branded myFeedz.com social news site on Friday. The website learns what users like and keeps up with interests in order to serve content. It all started when InterAKT launched their public beta last August, and sold to Adobe a month later. The service is now located deep-within Adobe's Labs, who have been on a web 2.0 kick lately. myFeedz is aimed at ...
