PalmPower Magazine Enterprise Edition has selected DailyLearner as its
favorite news application in the November 2000 issue. DailyLearner,
developed by AdaptiveInfo's co-founder and chief technology officer
Michael Pazzani while he was at the University of California, Irvine,
uses an early version of the Adaptive Information Server.

Author Kathy Burns states:

"News PQAs are also very popular. Some try to cover everything while
others offer specialized news. My favorite of this bunch is definitely
the Daily Learner.

"The Daily Learner uses an artificial intelligence engine that adapts
to your liking based on the stories you either read or ignore. After a
short while, it will only feed headlines to your Palm device that
match your usage preferences.

"This application adapts to the point of providing smart searches as
well. For instance, if you've been reading about the Microsoft
antitrust trial but passing by articles regarding Microsoft mergers,
The Daily Learner will remember this. If you then search on the term
"Microsoft," the application will display just those search matches
pertaining to the antitrust trial.
