Trap.it Beta - Siri's Closest Sibling

Are you one of the fans of the iPhone 4S voice assistant, Siri, suffering from low budget? No worries, as today, we will introduce you to Siri's................sister (awww, don't be disappointed). And her name is Trap.it. Constructed from the same DARPA-sourced artificial intelligence tech used to power up Siri, Trap.it is not a toy. It is a full feature AI website that helps you discover your favourite news updates, and add the discovery to your trap. For those who read my previous blog post about the iPad app called Zite, Trap.it actually works kind of similar to Zite, except that both are for different platforms and Zite seems to be more organized and rich in features. However, noted that Trap.it is still in Beta stage, so there might be more improvements seen in the future. So, back to Trap.it, how does it work? Easy! Just go to http://trap.it/, sign up the service using your email address, Facebook or Twitter account (I bet everyone has it), within few seconds, you are in! You can start discovering by typing in your desired topics (in the form of keywords). For instance, if you like to know more about Amazon, you can type in "Amazon" and the engine will search and display all the related updates in tiles. If you don't like the tiles display, you can also switch it to list view. When you see the article that you like, you can click on the "+" button to add it to your trap. If you don't really like to choose from the long list of items, you can also choose to add the whole findings into your trap. Once you add the item into your trap, Trap.it will search and update the related news for you 24/7. That will make sure that you get to read your favourite topics everyday, or more precisely, every moment. You can add multiple topics into your trap, and by regularly rating those articles, your Trap.it news assistant will improve herself to give you better services. You certainly can bring along your personal news assistant everywhere you go. Just turn on any pc, whether you're at your friend's apartment or a cybercafe, and login to your Trap.it account, your favourite news will be displayed right in front of you, no extra charges!
