Common problem, problematic solution.
Humans, no matter how altruistic, have inherent bias that will influence their selection of news to summarize, as well as the nature of their summarization.
Circa is another prime example of right idea, problematic solution. It gives me news and photos with no attribution... not even bylines of whomever created their shortened bits of things that they claim could be news. (intentional sarcasm) There's no mechanism whereby I can learn to trust them, or toolong-didntread.com.
- sixbit 14y agoHi Bill, if you hit the (i) info button on the top bar in the circa app it will show the attribution for each point in a given story.
- billirvine 14y agoNow I see that -- not sure why I didn't notice sooner (@@) I wonder how many other users may have had a different takeaway of the product if the attribution and sources was more obvious?
- sixbit 14y agoWe are definitely working on calling it out better in an update to the app. Thanks for the feedback!
- billirvine 14y agoOh, you're associated with Circa. As a digital publisher myself, I'm curious as to how you obtain the rights to the images you're using in the app.
