MiniBoxs is a vivid RSS aggregator that offers a new approach to surfing the Internet and presents its users with a simple way to get updated with news and content from around the globe in a wide variety of topics. MiniBoxs is an easy way to familiarize yourself with a handful of popular blogs, Internet magazines, social networks, web2.0 sites, leading video and image sharing communities and other top rated gems that are often missed by the general surfers’ community.
How is MiniBoxs Different?
MiniBoxs is a RSS magazine. Unlike Netvibes, Pageflakes, and many others - MiniBoxs is not customizable and it can’t be personalized. Similar to an editor’s work at a newspaper desk, MiniBoxs also has an editor, which decides what RSS to present in each category and on the front page. These decisions are based on the editor’s taste, the user’s feedback, popularity statistics, niche targeting and so on. MiniBoxs aims to collect the best of the best from all the worlds, and by doing so - to present to the mainstream Internet users, the wide variety of sites, blogs and magazines the net has to offer them.
How Does MiniBoxs Work?
MiniBoxs automatically updates itself 24/7, with new and fresh information from leading internet sites. The information gathering is done by RSS feeds, which assures fast headlines and article summaries reading and also provides a direct link to the relevant article page from the origin site.
MiniBoxs users can surf through the site’s categories and news headlines, read the preview of the story by pointing their mouse on the desired headline or picture and than visit the original article on a new page.
