SpotBack a winning news reader
Wednesday, May 03, 2006
Spotback is a news personalization reader. It is a superior product (altough it might need some of the buttons taken off the screen) due to two main reasons:
1. you can read the stories without leaving spotback - each story has a "more" link which opens up a layer with the complete story.
2. Its addictive thanks to its responsivness. as you rate a story that you've just read, spotback immediately displays new suggested stories based on your profile (no reload).
No doubt - the best newsreader / personalizer around. GYM must pick it up soon.

Pretty enough but suffers from a common Ajax failing: if the block being opened is too close to the bottom of the viewport, most or all of the the block is off-screen and the programmer should check for this and scroll the screen down if necessary
