The examples on the front page looks surprisingly good, which makes me suspect they were hand-picked. Kind of beats the purpose of the app if I'm just shown trends the author and me already know about, since we seem to inhabit the same subcultures.
- jhow15 7y agoYes, I do filter out any chaff, since the scripts I have crawling the web to generate keyword ideas aren't perfect! Right now they're monitoring the obvious techie havens, but I'm looking to expand their coverage to be more comprehensive.
- baldeagle 7y agoWhen building a system that surfaces interesting trends, you have to be careful about curating which historic examples you show. People will craft their understanding of predictive power based on those examples... but if the examples aren't representative (i.e. randomly sampled) of the algorithm, then you're selling people rainbows and unicorns.
- tw1010 7y agoOk, anyway cool app! I actually found some cool trends via this.
