Looks awesome!
Do you guys scroll selected website & social profiles/pages for this? Or you are using some api for this?
@jadlimcaco we are mainly using the official API from the main social networks (eg: Facebook Graph API)
I hope this answer your question.
Great idea, tried it out though and I'm a bit confused. I searched for "teacher" for any news about teachers and found these 2 articles on the first page of Ruzzit:
https://medium.com/@drox49/eight...
https://medium.com/@amystracciar...
Neither has any favorites or comments. My understanding is that these are not really viral?
Update: Also, this YouTube video featured: has about 30 views.
@jgdeutsch Thanks for your comment and for raising very good points.
Currently, our algorithm does not consider the numbers of comments or favourites for medium posts.
We will try to add those metrics into our algorithm in the future.
Concerning the video, I presume you had the filter time '1 day' and 'Youtube views' enable.
It meant that the feed was showing 'the videos related to teacher and published in the last day ordered by number of views'
Sometimes for such a short period of time and on so specific keyword we don't have enough data.
We are daily trying to add more sources of data, and our users can also submit some sources of data our algorithm should consider.
You will see that if you change the filter time from '1 day' to '1 week' you will see more videos with more views.
I hope this answer your concerns. Have a great day.
@alexgilmore0811 love the idea. Any thoughts on making politics a category? I'd love to see news stories just not in the form of politics.
Looks like a great idea, I can't access the pull down menus on iPad, there are only tiny slices of each menu item available, too small to see.
Congrats. I used Ruzzit by mistake, l was trying to search for BuzzSumo but Google choose to show Ruzzit on it's result as an alternative. When l noticed it's was new l was excited to check it out.
It's a little bit slow with video result But l will recommend it for anyone who needs a free version of BuzzSumo.
welcome on board Ruzzit 1.0
Congratulations @alexgilmore0811 and the whole @Ruzzit Team :)
I had subscribed for this release many months back and just received an email notification about the same.
I have used BuzzSumo and NewsWhip Spikes in the past ( Trial versions only. Don't have money to buy it :( ). So, I know what I want from you. :)
Just used the newest version, Here are few things to know, ask or suggest.
1. Ruzzit looks more like a news site ( Like Viralnova) than a viral content discovery tool. If it's intentional, It's nice, but I would still suggest you give users an option to choose between list views and grid views. I love more content and more links in fewer areas.
2. The social sharing button almost covers the whole featured image. Make it smaller and use icons only, no need to write social media channel name :)
3. Even after the site loaded, when I clicked menu and submenu item, it took the time to load ( means first showed white block, and then mega menu appeared). Give it a look.
4. Is there any chance to add to country specific virality. I mean if I want to see the viral content from India only.
5. Any chance to add Time of 1 hour or 2 hours so that we can pre-estimate the virality of content. Buzzsumo has this option.
6. It currently seems to be free, but there must be some paid features either currently or to be added in future. Aren't you looking for any early adapters which can give you feedback by using it for free? :) ( Yes, I am pitching to get some offer)
Thank you so much. Let me explore more now. All the very best. :)
@alexgilmore0811 Thank you for the precise response. :)
I have already added myself to the early access list of 'Prediction Tool', I will be waiting for the same.
Alos read your long post on Medium. You guys are doing an awesome work :) Thank you and all the very best for the great success.
Okay, this product is dope. Already found two articles I enjoyed. You may have earned yourself a loyal user!
@mat_sherman Thank for the feedback Mat! We are happy that you like it and we will try to make it even better.
