FOJ (Future of Journalism):

FOJ analyzes how people consume media to determine what news to distribute to the masses.

FOJ is essentially a browser plugin that not only analyzes what you are reading (meta data) but also how you are reading (eye-tracking, which is the secret sauce, and time-tracking ), and what you say about it (comments/tweets...). By combining the same information from a few hundred "content consumers" FOJ can determine a value for any particular news/topic.

FOJ allows content producers to know what topics interests people at any given time and give them a solid foundation (content wise) to write quick posts.

On the consumer side, FOJ works like the Stock market where the investors are the power content consumers and the money is the time invested reading and their comments.
