my6sense is announcing it has raised $2 million in Series A financing from private investors. The company is pioneering ‘digital intuition‘, artificial intelligence designed to assist everyday users separate the signal from the noise. This is a problem that has grown in magnitudes of severity since the introduction of blogs and RSS into our lives, and compounded even further by the recent rise in popularity of streams (thank you Facebook & Twitter).
In my initial review I tested my6sense’s technology which they chose to apply on an iPhone web app that basically acted like an RSS reader with, well, a sixth sense. The magical part was not only that it worked, it required me to do nothing but consume the content (in my case, blog posts). I didn’t have to rate content-to-interest relevance or assist the application in any way. It took a couple of days to achieve what I described as my “A-Ha Moment”
Suddenly, very relevant info was floated to the top of the main “TOP MESSAGES” pane. By relevant, I mean posts I would absolutely have clicked on through my Reader, but would have had to sift through hundreds of posts before doing so.
my6Sense will use the additional funding to advance R&D and its marketing efforts. It will also continue to focus on applying its technology in mobile applications. To this end, the company plans to release a native iPhone app in the very near future which we will be sure to cover.

Looks interesting, but for now this is all I see on their website

I don’t know which Web site you are talking about. The my6sense’s site is good and running well. The app seems to be targeting iPhone users only for now although there is an upcoming Web version for a Firefox add-on. I’m waiting for the add-on.

Thanks for stopping by!
Service is down. Will be back up in no time.
Mazal tov! thank god for ms. fashion!
=) Thank god for Digital Intuition!
If this does work, it could be the mobile KILLER app
so they could not convince any venture capital to invest in their company? and why do we need such an application?
Congrats my6sense! Digital Intuition puts the magic in your streams!
Hurray! after using it for a couple of days you can truly feel the magic coming up… I was really used to getting like 600000+ unread in my rss reader, and it’s much easier with my6sense, I see that I stay up to date with all that’s relevant to me without the whole unread count
Digital Intuition makes sense of ur digital life
You all invited to try the service
Digital Intuition is an awesome service. It really works – my feeds are ranked according to relevance and i get all the items that I need. Thanks my6sense and good luck!
Congrats! Great product, I use it all the time!
It’s a rockin’ good product. Get an iPhone, get My6Sense. The only way to deal with the volume of good RSS content out there these days (never mind the future) is with smart recommendation algorithms such as these.
Thanks Alan
You’re right – Making streams relevant on mobile is now…no need to wait for the future!
The problem with these services is the amount of data they will be collecting about us. They can use it for anything they like.
Ironically, with all those beautiful flowing streams of data, users still get lost amidst the bits and pieces sailing their way.
What users really need is a dynamic, flowing stream of information based on RELEVANCE.
my6sense provides this solution
The secret to my awesomeness revealed! for some time now I have been using a tool to filter hundreds of feeds, thousands of post! the results so tailored and specific to my needs they are as if hand picked by a mighty army of mind reading Oompa Loompas bent on making me the most informed man on earth. But alas the tool of my success will soon be available to the unwashed hordes of iPhone user all over the world and my super power will now become common place. The unstoppable march of technological progress has raised the bar once again. Congrats to the world, congrats to M6S and woe to me.
; )
This army of oompa loompas thanks you! We will always continue to personally serve you with perfect streams of relevance, precisely and accurately structured according to your needs – your super power will only grow stronger!
Richard, you are the leader of the NEW age of the 6th sense. So I believe the congratulations in fact goes to you!
It’s an honor to have you as a Digital Intuition user and supporter.
A real revolutionary product !
I predict it will change the way we consume news/posts and all other types of information.
The web app is great, I use it all the time and it brings such amazing results (I think it even knows my fav. underwear color
). Most importantly – it saves TONS of time, showing me pieces that I can only dream about getting by myself.
Can’t wait to get my hands on the native app – I expect it to be super Cool !
Very exciting news,
My6Sense Team – Cheers Guys.
Ori, It’s an honor to get such a comment from a user who is an expert that developed a very succesful iPhone app -Fring (www.fring.com).
Thank you very much Ori- we’re thrilled!
Awesome Guys
Amazing! cant wait to get the native iPhone app!
thanks UV!
These flowing information streams flood data into our lives more dynamically than ever before. However, it is humanly impossible to actually figure out which piece to focus on. What we need is a new tool that will dynamically mimic the human ranking function in order to prioritize the information within, and flowing into, our personal digital space…
Our solution focuses attention, where attention is scarce!
I’ve been using this as my primary RSS reader for a while, and it’s been working great. It beats most other RSS readers I’ve tried on the iPhone, and shows me content in a way that things like Google reader cannot. Looking forward to the actual app so that I can do offline reading when traveling.
Thanks Allen!
Indeed there will be quite a few cool features in the native app including offline reading.
I’ve been using this for over 6 months now and I can say it is a very well crafted web app, the interface is shear brilliance. Congrats and look forward to using the native app.
Thanks Ryan. We look forward to bringing you the native app
It’s a very bad habit, dear 6sense guys, to use this comment board as a free trolling/advertising space. Please let free exchange of information happen, I have never seen here so many PR notices. you are doing a bad service to your own company.
Dear ‘my6trolls’ – you are more than welcome to follow the ‘trolls’ on twitter and check if there are real people (& m6s users) behind the scenes …
@rzaragoza
@thecssninja
@thebigklosowski
@origoshen
and so on…
I don’t believe we need to apologize for being attentive and communicating with our early users (including those specific guys). Not only does it help us to collect support
, but we also got a lot of great feedback from these guys, which allows us to improve our product, the user experience and fix bugs. I’m sure you can relater to that.
Have a great day!
Congrats to my6sense, you are building something good there!
