Until this is stock behavior in web browsers, I can't see it having much of an effect unfortunately. There also seems to me to be a huge question of what that effect would ultimately be.
- gnicholas 10y agoCreator here. We're planning to build a Chrome extension also. We've actually been pleasantly surprised by the app's stickiness with users. Some say that just seeing the app icon on their home screen is enough of a reminder to get them to open up the app and read some news outside their bubble. Not sure what effects you're wondering about in the second sentence. Are you worried that people would read too far outside their bubble and get angry? We actually don't include sites that are extraordinarily partisan (breitbart, occupy democrats), partly for that reason.
- dwringer 10y agoHonestly I don't know what the effects would be. I imagine a definite impact on personal relationships, particularly with individuals who remain more fully enveloped by their own filter bubbles. I do however think it's a great idea and I'm excited to see your idea as an extension.
