Boxxet, a Tool for Automatic Webpage Generation

tkajstura writes "New Scientist is reporting on 'a new tool [called Boxxet that] offers to create websites on any subject, allowing web surfers to sit back, relax and watch a virtual space automatically fill up with relevant news stories, blog posts, maps and photos.' It uses an algorithm based on unique word count to filter an index and integrate relevant subject information into the page, called a 'Boxxet.' The tool will first be available by invitation only, opening to the general public by the end of April 2006."

KBBL DJ 3000

[PretzelWagon]

KBBL Boss: This is the DJ 3000. It plays CDs automatically, and it has three distinct varieties of inane chatter.

[presses a button]

DJ 3000: Hey, hey. How about that weather out there?
Woah! _That_ was the caller from hell.
Well, hot dog! We have a weiner.
Bill: Man, that thing's great!
Marty: _Don't_ praise the machine!
KBBL Boss: If you don't get that kid an elephant by tomorrow, the DJ 3000 gets your job.

[Marty punches it]

DJ 3000: Those clowns in congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns.
Bill: [laughs] How does it keep up with the news like that?

A perfect companion to /.

[MrNougat]

Boxxet will create the page for me, and then /. will read it for me. I don't need to get online at all!

Need automated browsing

[andy314159pi]

As the volume of recycled content goes up, the noise ratio will eventually be too much for anything too put up with. That's why I'm working on an automated web surfer so that this the recycled content can find some readership.

Re:Google?

[dR.fuZZo]

This is completely different. It rearranges search results in a pretty manner and it takes so long that you have to wait for the page to load. Completely different!

Re:This is an affiliate persons wet dream

[MyLongNickName]

Going from a search result link to another link full of partial information will be frustrating for many users and only benefits those who are makign aliving off of google ads, affiliates, etc.

Welcome to the Internet. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Labor-saving devices

[isomeme]

Now if we can just develop some sort of automated tool that obsessively scans a list of webpages for updates, leaving inane comments when it encounters a new piece of content, we can all finally leave behind the drudgery of the web and enjoy more free time.

Re:Y99 Dates

[commodoresloat]

Slashdot editors are still pissed off that there was no major damage from the Y2K bug. They continue using Y99 dates in protest.

Is it good search engine?

[triso]

So, I guess the real question is, Is Boxxet based on a good search engine? If not, I can see Grandma setting one up to gather topics related to caning and getting entries like Naughty Linda likes to have her big bottom turned red with a hairbrush. Do you want to help? If that doesn't induce a heart attack I'll eat a bug.
