Minekey ! Just Launched !

Minekey , which is quite a homophone for monkey :) , actually represents mine + key.

The idea was to make an attempt towards solving the Information Overload problem which we all face in our day to day life. There are huge amount of blogs, news and articles that are being published everyday, and every morning I wonder what to read and where to read.

Well Minekey aims at mining the content out of this huge pool of information and delivering it ready and cooked to the user exactly the way he may like it to be.

Each user has its own set of taste and preferences and Minekey learns that gradually and then delivers the personalized content to each and every user according to its taste.

Each article that one reads, each link the user clicks on, minekey considers that as a set of input which it uses to train its recommendation engines and make it more intelligent for the user.

We have put in lots of effort and time in making Minekey and over the last 18 months I have seen the code being re-written, the strategies being remade and several Business models being tried out.

And after 18 months I can see it working live in the right pane of this page, responding to my each and every click, Understanding me more and more as I use it, and I hope it would do the same for you as well.

Well done Minekey Team. Wish you all the best.
