TweetMeNews – personalized, relevant news based on your interests and preferences

TweetMeNews then analyzes data, including your Twitter feed, and uses a proprietary algorithms to send you stories that match your interests and behavior. TweetMeNews’ co-founder Brett Hellman says that the startup even checks your feed to make sure not to send your news that you’ve already received. You can choose for the service to send you up to ten stories per day.

In theory, the idea sounds great. But as a blogger, I need news fast. I tested the service out and it sent me a Tech news story from yesterday, which isn’t terribly helpful when it comes to receiving breaking news. Other news firehoses, like Techmeme’s are far more valuable to me when it comes to reporting breaking news throughout the day, because it’s fast, comprehensive and varied. But for users who aren’t concerned with the speed of breaking news, TweetMeNews could be a useful Twitter-focused news service to add to the mix.

nobosh has been developing a news personalization engine for over a year. As time went on Twitter exploded! Since that explosion the world has seen a convergence of information on Twitter, reducing the need to visit other sites. Unfortunately, this convergence has not filtered out the quality information – you’ve got to sift through the “junk” to see what you really want to see!

Next came a lot of quality Twitter Apps, like TwitterFon, that made a great starting point for users to consume content on Twitter…and that’s when the TweetMeNews flash bulb went off! Why build another standalone personalized news site when you can deliver personalized news content to Twitter via an application that users already visit and love? [TechCrunch and TweetMeNews]
