I agree with Linden’s statement. Computerized systems focused on consumers (read consumers in general, which includes enterprise consumers) should definitely help though the tedious task of info overflow. Current services are a good beginning, but still come up short.

I never used Findory, so I can not tell you how well it went about Linden’s ideas.

I have personalized news sources such as Google News, My Yahoo, etc and I find that it makes news stale. It seems to eliminate the “discovery” aspect of reading the news.

Matt,

I am guessing here, but I think came down to whether Greg wanted to sell something that was quite close to his heart and I think he did not want to do that.

@ Darren: wouldn’t that still be better than shutting it down completely?

I suppose there is a the risk that they could of sold it for very little and then see someone else turn it around and sell it for big bucks…

Greg was approached about a sale, but he’d refused it. Pity that it is closing shop.

But what exactly is the reason they are shutting? spent all the money?

If the tracking services are correct, Findory gets very little traffic anymore, so maybe it wouldn’t be even worth selling…
