News and Planet

What can we do to improve the news experience for casual Maemo followers?

Things being worked on right now:

  • Better abstracts, as the current text shortening system leaves too much of the story unshown
  • Reading blog comments through Planet, with blog systems that provide comment feeds

Longer-term ideas:

  • Adding more sources for news relevancy calculation: Twitter, Google realtime search, ...

The same Planet and Social News software will be also used on meego.com so advances in these areas will benefit both communities.
