BuddyBuzz

Email This Entry

Posted by Ross Mayfield

BJ Fogg and the Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab, which studies how technology changes behavior, have created BuddyBuzz. It helps you find the most interesting articles to read, based upon your friend's ratings -- and allows you to read 300 to 800 words per minute from your mobile phone. Reading works by having a single word blinked at you at a rate you control, similar to other experiences on the web, but it simply makes more sense with mobile form factor and lifestyle.

I got a demo at the Accelerating Change conference two weeks ago and it seemed that if you can teach yourself to read this way (or if it can teach you to read this way), it could be downright fun. Now all it needs is to source text via RSS.
