    Hi! I'm Jason Butler.

    I've spent much of the last few years working at the Boston Globe and Boston.com in online product development, focusing at various times on recruitment, real estate, local search, community and hyperlocal.

    My current project is called Serendeputy, a new take on personalized news search. It's currently in private alpha, and will launch sometime this spring-ish. I have a thing about personalization, and I think it will be critical to the success of online publishers in the next few years.

    I look forward to using this site. I love Hacker News, and I hope this site works as well. I'm @jpbutler on Twitter.

    Cheers,
    Jason

      Welcome, welcome. How does one get an invite to your alpha testing? I'm sure some folks on here might be interested.

        I'm shooting to launch the next iteration on Opening Day. Then, I'll see if I can go from five people to a thousand without the servers melting. Mass personalization makes the gerbils run really really fast.
