Bayesian Filtering Outside of Email? 54

clonebarkins asks: "Is anybody out there using Bayesian filtering for stuff other than to get rid of spam? For example, how useful would Bayesian filtering be to identify news stories/blog entries in the RSS feeds I monitor? Is there any software out there using Bayesian filtering to do this sort of thing already? Are other types of filters better for these purposes?" What other areas can you think of where Bayesian filtering may prove useful?
