I have been test-driving Topix.net, the new news aggregation site, and I have to say, I am impressed, at least on the functionalities side. For me, the RSS feeds on niche topics is a killer…
The site is similar to news aggregators like Google’s, MSN’s or Yahoo!’s, but it takes the concept to the local level…local news on my alma mater town Bloomington..better still, an RSS feed on it…Hoosier heaven…
Topix.net’s executive management team includes three of the founders of the Open Directory Project, currently the source for the Google directory, including Rich Skrenta, CEO of Topix.net.
