Filtrbox isn’t filtering?
I’ve just checked out this new site Filtrbox, which sounded like a brilliant concept as it allows you to monitor new media news, blogs, keywords, marketing effectiveness and more all in the one interface.
It’s a bit like FriendFeed, Google Alerts or Google Reader, but with more advanced tools.
I’m not sure if it’s just me, or if the site is still bug-testing, but my filters found 0 articles. I’ve checked out the community support pages and it seems to be a problem others have had.
I like the idea though, it would save me loads of research time once I got my filters set up.

Hi BWM,
Thanks for taking an interest and taking time to set up filtrs in Filtrbox and I wholeheartedly regret that you did not have a pleasant first hand experience with Filtrbox.
Ironically, I found this blog post about Filtrbox not filtering using my Filtrbox filtr for ‘Filtrbox’.
I regret that you did not have a pleasant first hand experience with Filtrbox. I would love to to give you hand and at the same time find out the cause of your not so pleasant experience and address it. Please send us an email with your Filtrbox details to support (at) filtrbox.com. I would love to look into your problem and get you to start benefiting from Filtrbox because Filtrbox is not in private beta testing anymore. We have been out of private beta since Monday and most of the posts that you saw on the community pages were posted during the beta testing. So far our users (save a few with special setup requirements) have begun to benefit greatly from Filtrbox and we’d be happy to add you to the list. I am looking forward to your details at the above-mentioned support email address.
Once again, thanks for taking an interest in Filtrbox.
