Quickish Delivers Almost Real-Time Yet Editor-Vetted News Recommendations. Today sees the launch of Quickish, a near-realtime micro-news recommendation service founded by former Associated Content Vice President and ESPN.com ‘Daily Quickie’ writer Dan Shanoff.
Considering Shanoff’s background, it’s no surprise that the first category Quickish is launched for today is sports. News recommendation services are plenty, and they all try to crack a similar nut: getting news updates more rapidly in front of people who are likely to be interested in them. Quickish is no different, yet, as the name implies, recommendations for online news items are shared quickly but decidedly not instantaneously. That’s because Quickish shuns automated systems and relies on editor-vetted news recommendations, which are nonetheless delivered at modern media consumption speed.
In Shanoff’s words: aEiP_E8DErCn3hvoFBGFDWFFT__qCfwwnbilQCMYhHqQ69sW9FJyaYCHDQH72VAs2o7v0brs4j3Ykh32cQ (JPEG Image, 220x179 pixels) Content vs. Aggregation vs. Curation Abnormal Returns. The discussion surrounding the merits of so-called web aggregators went to another level this week as some Internet heavies weighed in on the debate We first discussed the nature of content curation in piece entitled: Creating order out of aggregation.
This provides some useful background on this debate. The pressures on the mainstream media are acute. When a site like the Huffington Post, according to Mediaite, passes the likes of the WSJ and Washington Post in the number of readers it is inevitable there will be some sort of backlash.
