mgnet is a recommendation engine with an innovative interface for selecting content relevant to you. It uses pictures as a way of getting at what you like and don’t like.

The more interesting feature is the second tab, which the Dulles company has dubbed Mgnet. Pronounced Magnet, it allows people to search for news and information by clicking on a bunch of images.

Yesterday we went into public beta with a product that I’ve been working called myAOL.

AOL has launched a new site in beta called myAOL that allows users to organize and personalize their online content.

2007-07-11T22:07:31Z 2007-07-11T22:06:38Z 2007-07-11T22:06:38Z

If you haven't tried the new myAOL, you are missing out on a great new, next generation, personalized web experience. Several years in the making, the new personalized experience is easy to set up and you learn your habits as you go. It is clean and efficient in its design. I am very proud of the team that developed and greenlighted this project. I saw it go from concept to a mass product and I am proud of their efforts. Bravo!

2007-07-11T22:06:38Z 2007-07-11T19:24:59Z 2007-07-11T19:24:59Z

AOL bietet seit heute testweise mehrere neue Dienste im Beta-Bereich von myAOL an. Der interessanteste Dienst ist dabei 'Magnet', durch auswählen von Photos werden dem Nutzer personalisierte Nachrichten angezeigt wo die entsprechende Person auf dem Photo vorkommt.

Today AOL launched myAOL. I haven’t had time to play with it but will tonight. Seems to incorporate personal homepages, an RSS reader and a news mashup.

2007-07-11T19:24:15Z 2007-07-11T19:23:51Z 2007-07-11T19:23:51Z

“With myAOL we’re giving users the tools they need to create a truly personal online experience,” said David Liu, Senior Vice President, AOL. “myAOL allows individuals to find, organize, archive, share and use features, content and applications from destinations across the Web – all from one convenient, personalized page.”

2007-07-11T19:23:51Z 2007-07-11T19:23:12Z 2007-07-11T19:23:12Z

AOL's got a pretty solid lineup of Web apps in one spot with myAOL.

2007-07-11T19:23:12Z 2007-07-11T19:21:44Z 2007-07-11T19:21:44Z

Overall, the new myAOL is a really good attempt from an old-school company trying to make its comeback, and it doesn’t live short to some of the other options in the market.

2007-07-11T19:21:44Z 2007-07-11T19:21:16Z 2007-07-11T19:21:16Z

I'm not going to leave my iGoogle page for this offering, since it seems that me and my Google gadgets have bonded for life, but AOL'ers and net newbies will certainly enjoy this new service.

2007-07-11T19:21:16Z 2007-07-11T19:20:05Z 2007-07-11T19:20:05Z

There are plenty of widgets to choose from and they even provide a nice list of feeds to get you started. The visual discovery service, Mgnet, lets you browse through photos related to stories and allows you to give a thumbs up or a thumbs down so it can learn what you like. Here’s my screencast tour of myAOL

Today AOL unveiled a new myAOL beta, including an updated RSS reader dubbed “Favorites.” We decided to take a look at the new product head-to-head in several areas versus Google Reader, arguably the leader in the space.

2007-07-11T19:18:45Z 2007-07-11T19:17:36Z 2007-07-11T19:17:36Z

I think this is an excellent suite of services. They have to find a balance between serving their massive (and less tech savvy) existing user base and finding ways to push the envelope on new ideas. There is some genuinely new stuff here, particularly Mgnet and some of the features in the feed reader.

2007-07-11T19:17:36Z 2007-07-11T19:17:25Z 2007-07-11T19:17:25Z

The entire myAOL team (dev, design, product, ops, qa, etc) has worked hard developing this personalization product suite, with some help from other groups at AOL and partners - thank you to all for the hard work and dedication.

2007-07-11T19:17:25Z 2007-07-11T19:15:31Z 2007-07-11T19:15:31Z

I just spent a couple hours playing with the the new myAOL-beta. Read the link for an overview and then check that beta thing out as it's pretty neat. Seriously cool photoblog following tools in many flavors. It's wild.

AOL releases new test version of myAOL — It offers new personalized tools such as myPage, a personal dashboard offering access to content and applications from AOL and other sites; Mgnet, which lets users find new sites and information based on personal preferences; and Favorites, a feed reader that combines user feeds and bookmarks in one place.

2007-07-11T19:14:24Z 2007-07-11T19:13:17Z 2007-07-11T19:13:17Z

AOL has released a new beta version of myAOL, offering users a suite of three customizable products: a personalized homepage, a content discovery service and feed reading tools built on a portable personalization platform.

2007-07-11T19:13:17Z 2007-07-11T19:06:04Z 2007-07-11T19:06:04Z

The feed reader feels a lot like a cramped version of Google Reader, but with a nifty new "mix and share" feature that lets you share a group of feeds with others. The personalized start page looks pretty much like every other AJAX start page you've seen in the last year or two. But Mgnet is pretty cool, if not 100% original. You have to use it to really get a sense of it, so we whipped up a little screencast showing Mgnet and the other services fit together.

they were smart to launch a completely separate recommendation service and make it visual and entertaining. it’s very stumbleupon-like…that’s good as they need to introduce the concept and work out the kinks before they alter the main user experience…

2007-07-11T19:04:21Z 2007-07-11T19:02:52Z 2007-07-11T19:02:52Z

Yesterday we went into public beta with a product that I've been working called myAOL. While I can't say enough about the team, the product and now the press/blogs says it all.

2007-07-11T19:02:52Z 2007-07-11T19:02:23Z 2007-07-11T19:02:23Z

AOL still serves as a stepping stone for the less tech savvy, and myAOL looks to be a great, no-frills introduction to the “basics of Web 2.0″ for the casual Internet user.

2007-07-11T19:02:23Z 2007-07-11T19:01:39Z 2007-07-11T19:01:39Z

News is that AOL has launched 3 new products for myAOL into Beta. myPage (personalized home page), Mgnet (image-driven content discovery and recommendation engine) and Favorites (feed reader and bookmarking). All three services can be accessed via tabs on the main myAOL page.
