Summify: read only the most interesting
Web Services Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Over time, every "experienced" an Internet user is faced with the fact that it becomes difficult to read all posts, keep track of messages from twitter and facebook, and even check RSS-feeds of all your favorite sites.
You know it looks like my Google Reader now?
It's just ridiculous! More than 1,000 entries! I was away from the computer for two days, and I have already accumulated thousands of articles. The most annoying - I would be interested in a maximum of 10-15 positions, the remaining n-thousand I have in any case be dropped. The captain tells us that in this pile of information, most of the - garbage and not relevant, uninteresting content.
If you read the twitter, you know exactly what I mean: even the famous and interesting personalities constantly skips tweets that are of no value to you personally. Same with facebook & RSS. All these streams always contain a certain proportion do not need to waste.
Removing unnecessary sources and uninteresting people from twitter and facebook can solve the problem only in part - have a chance still miss a few interesting posts, besides, often simply too lazy to do it all: select, organize, sift. All of this takes a lot of time.
Ideally it would be nice to have someone nearby that knowing your preferences to filter all the threads and gave you only the most-most. Dreaming is not bad :)
During the search for solutions that dilemmas on the horizon appeared summify.com.
What they promise:
1. Automatic collection of content from twitter, facebook, google reader (ie RSS) and, very soon, and other social services. networks.
2. Easy to read web-based interface and automatic, customizable sent by email.
3. Smart Filter which to explore your interests and will give only the most interesting and tasty day.
Immediately after registration summify asked to wait about 2 hours. During this time, he analyzes the content sources and builds a connection between them. According to my observations, the first sample of posts is not the best and most relevant. But the service begins to wonder more and more each time. Already 4 times summify miraculously picked up the posts and tweets that I would have found in a pile of garbage, but which definitely interested in me.
Oddly enough, it turned out that the service works fine with Russian articles, tweets and in general with any Russian-language content.
How do they do it? In Summify claim that they analyze links in twitter and facebook, and then tie it to the posts from Google Reader. Initially, they give priority to those posts, linked to publish your friends and follouvery most (not just friends, but the most important for you people). After each follow a link service keeps track of the most interesting sites for you, and also analyzes the content of a particular article, and takes into account the key words for the future "digests".
All this can be configured for automatic delivery directly to your email inbox. For fans of the web interface is provided, and it is:
Set the number of posts and the number of samples per day. Initially, they give 5 posts 1 per day. My advice - if you use it, put no less than 10 posts, 2 times a day. This will reduce the likelihood of profukannyh interesting content while the service is not properly set filters.
Without "sotsialschiny" Of course there were some here. You can "follow" and to be "monitored" by other users, there puzomerki and other pleasures of social life.
Now I completely stopped updating Google Reader, loosened control over Twitter and quite annoying about shoveling thousands and thousands of messages, tweets and posts. All interesting comes into my hands - the post office.
