I’ve been using Gmail’s Priority Inbox for a while now and, while I don’t get an overwhelming amount of email, have found it very useful (and increasingly so as it learns even more about what is, and isn’t, important to me).
Recently, when I was describing what Newstogram does for news and current information sites, someone said “so you’re basically like Priority Inbox for news”.
I hadn’t thought about it like that but, at his suggestion, I watched the video for Priority Inbox (embedded above) and can clearly see the parallels. In fact we could basically reuse several quotes from the video just by replacing “messages” with “news articles” and “Google” with “Newstogram”:
Wouldn’t it be nice to know which news articles to focus on first
Newstogram finds the important news articles and sorts them for you
What is really neat… Newstogram is great at predicting what is important
So… we need to get publishers using Newstogram to its full potential so their news and current information sites are as useful as Priority Inbox.
