The book explores the challenges of managing the overwhelming flow of information online, particularly in news consumption. It presents a web-based news-reader designed with advanced filtering capabilities that leverage user preferences and social networks to enhance efficiency. The author, Ingo Schommer, delves into the conceptual and practical aspects of this development, examining existing products and their limitations. The target audience is experienced news readers, referred to as "information junkies," seeking a more effective way to navigate the digital information landscape.

The increasing amount of information on the internet makes it hard to filter out relevant parts. Every second hundreds of news-articles and blog-entries are written. A subscriber to this constant stream of information quickly looses overview – a typical needle-in-a-haystack problem. Especially in the field of news-reading, software can help to increase efficiency by personalized filtering mechanisms. This filtering can be predictive based on previous user-choices, but also heeds the power of social networks: Users help each other by marking relevant information. The author Ingo Schommer investigates the conceptual and practical development of a web-based news-reader with advanced filtering features. Research is conducted in the field of information visualization and filtering as well as in competitive products and their shortcomings. The solution will mainly target pro-users who are already accustomed with news-reading, the modern „information junkies“.
