Frassle

Filed under: Science and Technology — Daniel Lemire @ 19:29

Through Downes’ I found out about Frassle. It claims to provide personalized views of the Web based on just about anything you do through it like bookmarking and so on. Some kind of supersuperset of inDiscover to the tenth power. Interesting goals, wild claims, but can they pull it off? I have my doubts, but then, I’m still amazed at what Google does. I just wish I could know more about who these people are.

Update: found out where one of them lives.

  1. Hi Daniel,

    I’m these people. My friend Josh and I are building frassle in our spare time. So the
    comparison to Google is flattering but rather unrealistic. :) Anyway, if you want to learn
    more about frassle, or contribute to it — whether in the form of suggestions or if you’d like
    to help us write code when frassle is open-sourced later this summer — please try it out.
    You are also welcome to email me, give me call, or if you’re ever in Boston perhaps we can
    chat. Thanks for your interest!
