>Surprise: it's been done.
Lots of people are working on this. One of the first projects was the
'personal newspaper' which read your email and an AP wire and did a custom
layout of a newspaper for you. Walter Bender, MIT Media Lab, several years
ago. Work on it continues, there were two papers at the Nashville Usenix.
One of the references in the Usenix paper was a Aus/Japan project that built
a neural net to read newsgroups for you. Of course WAIS and LQTEXT give
you easy technology to play with ideas, too.

But this discussion doesn't belong here -- news.software.readers.
