The NY Times has officially launched its MyTimes personalized feature today following a private beta started in April 2006. In a scaled-down RSS reader, users select feeds they want to add: initially, these are the picks of editors – in my case, a selection of blogs from technology columnist David Pogue. These picks are added to a Netvibes-style startpage.Since the intial trial, they???ve added more editors picks, more widgets for your page (Flickr, bookmarking, weather etc) and the ability to create multiple, tabbed startpages. It???s nothing new for those of us used to the sites it???s cloning (Netvibes, Pageflakes etc), but neither is it a misstep: it???s extremely useful for those NYTimes readers who want more control, but aren???t aware of the opportunities on the open web.Recommended: Piczo Layouts at Mashcodes!Share This
