                                  _Intelligent E-Journals_

   Two weeks before Christmas last year, I submitted the posting below to
several e-lists and received great interest but no candidates. As it is
about Two Before Spring [and a week before St. Patrick's Day [Go Irish!],
I am once again soliciting nominations of 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! [:-)]

[Update: It's kinda like the PageYouMade feature in Amazon.com ] [?]

   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

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.
