I used to use Nuzzel and I liked it a lot, although I stopped using it for some reasons I don't remember.
For me, the whole point of the service was to get interesting links without exposing myself to the hostility the social media tends to have. In other words, I could use Twitter without engaging with it.
I don't expect the less-engaging nature of the service lasts after the acquisition. If they create a paid link aggregation service however, that can be something loved from people who stay away from the timelines. I'll maintain a lukewarm hope there.
- spullara 5y agoYou can do an advanced search against your follow list and filter out replies and only tweets with links. Might be useful for you.
- flakiness 5y agoInteresting. Not clear how "against your follow list" works though. Any tip is appreciated! https://twitter.com/search-advanced?lang=en https://twitter.com/search-advanced?lang=en
- spullara 5y agoDunno. Probably in the post request. But it shows up on the main search page as an option. https://i.imgur.com/UIemCg6.png https://i.imgur.com/UIemCg6.png
- PostHeat 5y agoI'm adding some of the Tweet features of Nuzzel to my startup https://postheat.com https://postheat.com - would you mind sharing your favorite use case?
- 1cvmask 5y agoI met the founder of Nuzzel Jonathan Abrams at an event in SF at their peak hype years ago and remember him being extremely arrogant and dismissive. Although I am not sure if that is at all correlated with this unfortunate outcome.
- flakiness 5y agoIt's for myself finding interesting links. Not for building audience or anything. Probably not a target user of your startup.
- OscarTheGrinch 5y agoI follow a bunch of journalists that linked to stories they liked, then used nuzzle as a news aggregator, 9+ likes might be worth a read, 20+ likes something big going on etc. Fannying around with Twitters advanced filters to replicate this feels like trying to get the much promised Flash level of interactivity out of HTML5. I am sad Nuzzel is being shitcanned. Somthing good has been lost.
- EricE 5y agoYup - this is what I liked about Nuzzel, especially as political rhetoric in particular continues to get overheated on Twitter. Ultimately I found ignoring Twitter to be even better. I surface more interesting stuff on sites like this one than Twitter. It wasn’t always like that, but Twitter has been moving from being focused on a way to discover ideas to an outrage generating machine in the soulless chase for engagement at all costs for some time now. It’s rather disgusting so I no longer help feed the beast and perpetuate the problem. And I have a lot less stress in my life as well - win win!
- Siira 5y agoYou should be able to use some twitter scraping library to scrape tweets of your followees. Add some RSS feeds, and then sort the links based on repetition count, and email yourself the top 10 each week.
