Imagine having your Facebook friend updates and news about your hometown football teams delivered at the same time as updates about Iraq and the presidential campaign. Northwestern University's Intelligent Information Lab hopes to make that image a reality with its October 31 launch of News At Seven, a system that creates a daily virtual news show based on topics the user chooses. The program is the product of two Northwestern graduate students and Kristian Hammond, a computer science professor and founder and CEO of News at Seven Inc. Hammond said the system will help users wade through all of the news available. "Instead of tracking information and news, we can help track it for you in the same way that Google is a search and Yahoo is used for mail," Hammond said. For no cost, users of newsatseven.com choose topics that interest them ranging from weather to international news.http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/10/15/cnnu.newscast/index.html
