New release: category and language preferences
The most popular links shared in twitter are typically from the US, written in English and many times about Internet and Technology. Those should account for roughly 40% to 50% of passed-links. The other 50% is long-tail. For many people they are hard to find and specially valuable. Our job is to find them and present them to the right users …
That is the quest that we started many months ago and today we take another small step in that direction. In our new version users can set preferences on languages and categories. Users that are interested in Environment will find content easier, and users in China will be presented with content written in Chinese. It is a simple explicit setting, but obviously very necessary.
In addition, in this version you should see a performance improvements on our core functions: top 50 links, hot links on a domain, popular among followings and suggested links based on your passed twitter behavior.
We hope you enjoy it ! and let us know what you think at @feedtrace or @bdo or @jordimirobruix.
