FollowThing.com – first alpha accounts released
We are pleased to announce that the first wave of FollowThing Alpha accounts will be going out later today.
With this release (v 0.1.0) we have the first prototype of the FollowThing filtering engine in place. This essentially condenses your list of sources and all of their posts from the last twenty-four hours into a manageable ’24hr Snapshot’. We do this based on your personal viewing activity – so only the most relevant items to you appear in your view. This means that you can scan an entire day’s news in just a few minutes.
If you need to see more detail than the Snapshot, you also have the option of viewing stories as they come in via the FollowThing Real-Time streaming engine, which gives you everything, as it happens, in real-time. This of course will give you more ‘noise’ than the snapshot, but it will allow you explore almost everything.
If you would like give FollowThing a try, please register your details over at FollowThing.com and we’ll be in touch. During our Alpha phase, all accounts will be free.
