I use Nuzzel every day, multiple times a day. Check Twitter, check email, check Nuzzel. It's wear I read the news. I save articles to Pocket all the time but never actually read them. With Nuzzel it's where I know there will be new stuff -- the right stuff -- that I need to be updated on all the time.
Congrats to the team on the Nuzzel 2.0 Launch 😀
@abrams @heyyyjay @javiervegas @josemontesdeoca @mackinra
Nuzzel was great before. Now it's absolutely fantastic. A must-use app for me. Congratulations and thanks to the entire Nuzzel team…
Curious to see Nuzzel drop the Twitter sign in requirement... this means they must have enough organic signals and/or existing user information that recommendations can be made without sucking on the Twitter nozzle. Interesting!
@chrismessina we are still using Twitter data, but packaging it for use by people who don't use Twitter already
@abrams @chrismessina That's amazing! How do you get the initial recommendations? Do you just ask people for their interests?
It seems to me that everyone's friends here must share much more relevant content than mine, because nuzzle isn't as useful as reading news sites and my rss reader.
I love nuzzel, but really wish I could view it from an arbitrary twittier account perspective, rather than only users who have signed up for nuzzel. Anywho, this is a wondrous app for those of us out there without a following.
@matthui In my experience it creates a much superior feed because it's filtered. Only trending content appears based on multiple shares from those in my network. A lot of the noise gets muffled that way, which is great (although for sure some click baity BS still shows up). For me it's best when it's tracking the twitter shares in my network over Facebook. This is because 1. native tweets have such a short shelf life that it's easy to miss good content and 2. I've invested real blood sweat and tears into hand curating who I follow on twitter (not so much on Facebook), so if multiple of those smart, wonderful people are sharing something the odds are much better that it's quality. On Facebook, I have to see the trending shares of tons of random friends and family, and we all know how that goes.
@urbnist @matthui I see so much noise on Facebook - Twitter is good but also great articles are spread between tweets of other things...
This brings it to a real focus IMO.
I don't worry about missing a big story in the tech world or the like if I check out my Nuzzel because I can rely (and have done many times before) that it will find and surface those for me.
If you are skeptical I'd say give it a go for a few days to see what you think. But HIGHLY recommended.
I love Nuzzel... the combo of this and pocket makes my life so much easier (minus the build up of articles I am yet to read)
So what's new in 2.0:
• Search for top news stories on any topic.
• Discover feeds on thousands of topics and communities.
• Add any feed to your favourite feeds and easily swipe between feeds. - LOVE this
Hopefully @abrams will join us and tell us what has been going on over there :)
Wahoo 💃
great job team nuzzel!
how has twitter's release of moments affected your game plan given the parallels?
My favorite feature is that it shows how many of my friends are looking at a certain story. Definitely something I haven't seen before. Great job to the makers of Nuzzel!
I've been a fan of Nuzzle for a couple of months. It has become indispensable in my quest for relevant news (: thank you!
Big fan. I like knowing and reading what the Hive mind is thinking--- and then re-tweeting it
I wanted to try it out but somehow got no recommended content apart from generic first page. I logged in with Facebook. How do I get content suited to my needs? What privacy settings must be enabled? Does this work just for Twitter? I tried to find the information on your website but it's really scarce with information on how this works.
Terrible horrible no good very bad ideas
