I don’t know about you, but I’m not entirely on an aggregator/RSS diet. So, given today’s news that MySpace has launched data portability, here’s something on my want list: Friend Feed functionality built in to my favorite news websites.
Ideally, my favorite news sites’ “latest stuff” feed would include:
1. Newest items posted to the news website (I’d filter what the feed would deliver – say video versus photos, or my own neighborhood’s news)
2. Imported data – What my friends are doing on Facebook (once your site is a trusted FB partner), MySpace, Twitter and other sites
3. Select hot comments on news stories on the site (filtered by criteria)
4. What my friends on the news site are doing (comments, posting photos, etc.) given that the site has social networking
4. And, yes…hello behavioral ad targeting!
Would you dig this, too?
In comments: Rex reminded me that NYT has a variant on this idea: TimesPeople.
