my6sense Lord of the Senses Highlight: @holdenpage

As you know, my6sense is more than a powerful aggregator that combines your social streams (Twitter, Facebook and Google Buzz) with your news streams (Google Reader and RSS). The secret sauce to my6sense is the artificial intelligence designed to bring you personalized and relevant news at the right time and the right place, with the right context. As you progress with the application, and the system gets to know your interests, the experience can be amazing.

Today, we're excited to highlight one of our most devout and thoughtful users, Holden Page. A college student from Minnesota, part-time blogger and full-time Web expert, Holden not only covers the tech scene including, desktop, mobile and operating system trends, but he has become one of the world's experts on the topic of relevance. Today, he achieved the lofty (and challenging!) position of Lord of the Senses.

Congratulations, Holden!

Reaching the rank of Lord of the Senses means that my6sense has reached a rarified level of predicting your interests, surfacing the most relevant items from all your social and news streams, and that the accuracy is tremendous - resulting in your needing to spend less time looking for great stuff, and having it flow directly to you.


No doubt Holden's focus on relevance has opened eyes to the potential of my6sense and how important the issue of personalization is in a world overwhelmed with noise and off-topic information. Check out some of the great posts Holden has recently delivered on this topic (and make sure you subscribe to his blog).


Once you've become addicted to the news drug that is my6sense, there is really no going back, and Holden knows this as well as anybody. When he put the app aside, he found "Getting Your News Manually Blows". You know we agree. Reading today's news in chronologically-ordered networks is a lot like turning your TV to channel 1 and hitting the channel up button over and over until you find something you like. There is a better way and that way is my6sense. We are excited to find such powerful users and advocates as Holden, and are excited to see him join us as a Lord of the Senses.

You can find Holden on Twitter at @holdenpage. Add Pages Are Social to your my6sense.
