Boxxet, a Tool for Automatic Webpage Generation 109

tkajstura writes "New Scientist is reporting on 'a new tool [called Boxxet that] offers to create websites on any subject, allowing web surfers to sit back, relax and watch a virtual space automatically fill up with relevant news stories, blog posts, maps and photos.' It uses an algorithm based on unique word count to filter an index and integrate relevant subject information into the page, called a 'Boxxet.' The tool will first be available by invitation only, opening to the general public by the end of April 2006."

Journal Journal: Getting the Word Out

Almost every time an article comes up on the front page about the latest badly written, overbroad copyright legislation, it is followed by several hundred comments talking about what a disaster X legislation is, and how we, as slashdotters, should publicly protest this calamity.

But the problem is, these cries of injustice never make it outside of slashdot. The people who read the comments already realize the problems, we are simply preaching to the choir.

I don't get it. It's YOUR property, YOU own it. How can the government tell me what to do with the stuff I own. If I want to play frisbee with my DVD I WILL! Same thing goes with making a copy. If I want to make a copy of my DVD I WILL! How would they like it if I told them they couldn't make a photocopy of a Dilbert comic so they could hang it up?

Journal Journal: A slashdot feature idea 1

I've always thought It would be interesting to be able to see what articles were rejected and never actually posted to the site. Of course, most of these would probably be crap (LOLOLOLOGNAAGOATSE.CX and hay guys check this out), but it seems that there are alot of stories that the editors just don't have space for. Does anyone know if rejected stories are kept on the servers? If so, it might be cool to have a subscriber option to view these stories.
