Development work on ingesti is slowly ticking along and we are preparing for a public release within the next few weeks. You’ll be very excited to know that it will be a full featured version of ingesti as well!
We don’t like the idea of a “cool” BETA and therefore we are waiting to get a finished product before we get lots of people using it (I suppose it will actually be a public beta, it just wont feature a beta icon anywhere on the page).
Keep coming back here for more information on the release schedule of ingesti.

We’ve just had our first round of BETA testers around and testing ingesti and the results are positive. We are now working away fixing bugs and adding some more features to the system. Check back here for updates on when the next BETA test will be.

ingesti’s development life cycle is reaching it’s peak and we expect a working BETA within the next 2 months. Just to keep you lathered up and frothing at the mouth, here’s a nice preview of out AJAX spell checking engine (that will be available for download, when we get around to it)

We are proud to annouce that ingesti will be changing it’s logo soon… ooooh! Well as Jon Hicks (he’s the man behind the Firefox branding) points out that there are too many leaf logo’s on up and coming Web2.0 companies now. Therefore we are changing the brand identity to something more unique.
Check back here for more updates soon…

I had a few emails through enquiring about the ‘tagging’ element of ingesti. This is how tagging will work:
- Our RSS spider tags articles using an algorythmn to decide what the content is
- Users can further tag an article with what they think is neccessary. Here’s the tagging tool:
That should answer the questions we have received so far!

ingesti is your free personalised news web service. It uses RSS and the wisdom of a collective mind (as well as a computer algorythm) to produce a automated news tracking system. You build a profile of news that you like and we’ll give you stories that you didn’t know about that you will be interested in. However the great thing about ingesti is that it isn’t just for your web browser!
We are developing web browser plug-ins that should be released along side the second private BETA that will take ingesti away from simply using ingesti as a web site. These plug-ins (currently FireFox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6 are planned to be supported) will allow you to browse news websites like you would usually and add them to your profile with the click of a button.
The ingesti team are well on the way to announcing some more of the exciting features in the first private BETA.
BETA signup coming soon…
