Goodbye
July 15, 2008
We’re sorry to announce that tiinker will be shutting down in the next few days.
It’s been great fun and we’ve learnt a heap, but it seems that there just isn’t space for a personalising news aggregator to grow large. We still think personalisation is the future, but the eventually successful implementation will probably be at the news sources, the online faces of the newspapers and media companies, or possibly a large content aggregator. The power of the news brands is strong, with good reason. Future combinations of trusted editorial with intelligent personalisation will provide a very compelling source of information, but for now the traditional media seem reluctant to pursue this approach.
Thanks to all our users for joining us thus far.
The tiinker team.
