Blern Blog

In the beginning, there was the web… and the web provided a virtually limitless selection of articles on virtually limitless topics. Many found sites that sometimes provided content that was interesting to them. However, as time wore on and the web grew boundlessly, the number of sites which may contain interesting news and insights grew unmanageable.

Then came RSS… and now there was a way to quickly skim the content of dozens, even hundreds, of websites in a single sitting, searching for those articles that might be of interest. But what of the articles and blog entries posted to sites you’d never heard of? Or those on sites that normally aren’t interesting and worth skimming? And still, all that time spent skimming through uninteresting content trying to find the stuff you want to read…

Finally, came Blern… a site that scours thousands of websites, constantly looking for the articles you’ll find interesting. How does it work? You simply tell Blern which articles were interesting–or uninteresting– and Blern figures out what you are interested in. It’s sort of like your friend, who knows you are into poker who comes across an interesting poker article and points it out to you. You tell Blern you like articles and blog entries on poker and Blern finds you more articles on poker. And if you’re really into poker, you can subscribe to the work “poker” itself, and see every article with the word poker that Blern comes across.

Blern is new so there may be a kink here or there that needs to be worked out. New features are always in the works, as well. But if you have thoughts or ideas about your experience with Blern, I encourage you to provide feedback.
