I just received my invitation to join Rojo during their beta. It's a long (or short) story about how I heard about them - one of their developers was working on a project that was very similar to an idea I (and I am sure A LOT) of people have had. One of those ideas that makes so much sense that I don't know why it isn't already developed. Rojo is on the path to that idea, but not quite there. Basically Rojo is a web service that sorts incoming news for you into whatever categories you want (or you can use their default presets). There is more to it than that, but admittedly I haven't thought too much about it in a while and I haven't even read a story yet after picking my default categories.
The reason I post this is because part of Rojo is flagging stories to share with contacts and since I am too lazy at this moment to search for contacts, I am announcing to the world that I am available for contacting. Also my understanding is that when they begin to grow I might be able to issue invitations, so if anyone wants to get in the queue, let me know (via comments).

Right now each user can invite up to 5 friends and we will increase that number over time. To invite contacts, simply view the people tab and enter their email. If they are already members you will be able invite them to connect to you, if not, you will be able to send them an email invitation to join you in Rojo. Thanks for using Rojo and please let us know how we can make it better! The Rojo Team

Posted by: burgen at February 11, 2005 02:24 PMI just sent out my first two invites. Enjoy. Is it still in beta though? It looks like anyone could register. Apparently, the site has been getting some pub, but I've only visit it on rare occasions. I have not had a lot of free time to test out the site, but the interface is not too intuitive (what am I trying to accomplish?), marking/tagging stories isn't too helpful at the moment, and the same story will appear multiple times because several of my feeds link to it - it smells like money could be made answering that last problem.
