Step Away From the Fiat » masses http://www.jeffreymclarty.com/jm Just A blog, by J.N.McLarty - An Engineer, Derivative Trader and Austrian Economist Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:17:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Newspond = Sexypond http://www.jeffreymclarty.com/jm/2008/02/21/newspond-sexypond/ http://www.jeffreymclarty.com/jm/2008/02/21/newspond-sexypond/#comments Fri, 22 Feb 2008 02:53:31 +0000 Jeffrey McLarty http://www.jeffreymclarty.com/jm/2008/02/21/newspond-sexypond/ I just caught wind of Newspond.  I think it’s their 3rd day running, and I’ve watched the number of stories “surface” climbing right before my very eyes.  It’s a good idea, but still a news source based on the masses opinion of what is “good” news.  The masses are not smart. But, I must say, these guys did a terrific job on the site design and graphics.  It is this.  If they “tweak” the algorithms right, it could be powerful.    I haven’t used it yet, but I did sign up for an account.  I wonder how much time they spent on this creation, like I’m talking man hours.   I want to partner with Ian or Chan for a project I have an idea for, but sigh…sadly now does everybody else on the Internet start-up front.

Good Job Boys, way to make an impact.

I’ll be checking in on the site and closely watching the Alexa data, it should be interesting.
