Jaanix lets users tune into the exact type of content that they want to see, instantly and in real-time. Like other “personalized” sites, with Jaanix you need to tell it what you like by rating existing bookmarks, making comments, making new posts, and tagging. When a post is ranked, it is also ranked for like minded others.
A bit of an issue with the site is that it relies entirely on tagging. However, the site does allow users to retag a post if they don’t agree with how it was originally tagged. There are sliders to the right of the page that let you quickly change your interest. Changing the sliders does not affect your normal personalization. There is also an RSS subscription for each page, which is kind of like making your own RSS feed for specific keywords.
The site doesn’t offer too much newness and the design feels odd… maybe I just need time to get used to it.
