                                  _Intelligent E-Journals_

  I am interested in learning  of *any* and *all* e-journals  [or
e-magazines or e-newsletters or e-newspapers] that monitor the
interaction of a reader with the publication and based on such implicit
behavior(s) customizes the publication to match these 'expressed'
interests so that the reader is provided with (more) content that in
similar / related to the content that he/she had previously
selected/read. [Whew, What a sentence! [:-)]

   I have learned about a service provided by AdaptiveInfo
[http://www.adaptiveinfo.com ] which provides personalized news services
[ http://www.adaptiveinfo.com/Products/newsServer.asp ] using its
Adaptive Personalization technologies
[ http://www.adaptiveinfo.com/Products/recommendation.asp ]

[A demo that illustrates a personalized version of the _Los Angeles
Times_ is
available [ http://www.adaptiveinfo.com/Products/demonstration.asp]]

   As Always, Any and All contributions, suggestions, comments,
queries,  Supreme Split Decisions, questions, Cosmic Insights, etc. are
Most Welcome.
