The news board seemed 80% from one source, BBC. Would love to see more variety. Did not really understand your rating algorithms there. Clicking on the news opened just 1 sentence of the news item. Either redirect to the full webpage or use full text scraping like Flipboard/Zite do (keeping of course copyright in mind).
Some objects you have don´t have photos and then the headline jumps to the top of the object, which is distracting.
After registering, I now have just an empty page under my first board, saying no threads found. Not sure what I should do next.
Good luck - better (big data) content discovery & personalization projects are always needed. And try to find a specific niche - it´s a very tough and coverrowded market.
- eekfuh 15y agoMost of the content from the site is from RSS feeds. This is why there are lot of descriptions that are short. Hopefully users will add stuff and I can wean the site off this automatically submitted content. After you register, you create a board or two, follow some users or sources in those boards. Make a tech board, with the sites you like. Make a friends one following all of your friends. But, you are absolutely right. I am not showing the user that they need to do this. This is probably the hardest thing to do, for me, right now.
- sage 15y agoIt wasn't clear to me how to add sources not already listed. Is there some way to add other RSS feeds?
