Last week at twiistup in LA we demoed a powerful new feature, showing what’s popular. Well today its ready for general release and it’s pretty cool. So what does it do?
We now can show you what’s popular on the site, either news articles, videos, or even photos. Ok a bunch of people do this kind of trending with twitter right? Well, we do more than twitter, we also take into account what is being shared on Facebook too.
Our popularity engine updates in real time, but as you can see, you can chose to see what is trending today, and this week too.
But wait, there’s more!
One of the things we focus on is adding context to your real time stream. What good is a link if your not entirely sure what that link contains? Well, never be rickrolled again, because nsyght now can display a preview right in the tweet/post itself:
Adding context is really important for us, but so is discoverability. We’ve gotten a lot of praises on our ability to thread twitter conversations in real time. The problem? Threading is only part of the battle, you also have to be able to find discussions too. So we’ve also released a cool filter to allow you to see only discussions in your realtime stream, and of course you can even search for just discussions too:
So you can view all these great discussions on twitter and facebook, but what about discussions that span both services? There are a lot of people that post similar things to both services, to keep up with both discussions today, users essentially have to go to both services. Not anymore, now nsyght can merge discussions from both services together, allowing you to have one discussion in one place:
But wait, there’s more!
Actually no, that’s enough for one release don’t you think? Well we are all very excited about the release today, a lot of hard work has gone into it. As always, we would appreciate your feedback and please watch this space. The have a lot more cool stuff in store over the next few weeks.
