tiinker
tiinker is an intelligent news aggregator. It gathers news articles and blog posts from around the world as they’re published and presents you with the stories you’ll find most interesting.How do you know what I like?
tiinker relies on a little help from you to learn your interests. You can mark each story as either interesting or uninteresting by clicking the thumbs-up or thumbs-down icon below it. tiinker uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyse each story, learning which topics are of interest to you and which aren’t.
P.S. if you make a mistake you can click the thumb icon again to undo.
How do you choose stories?
tiinker chooses stories for you completely automatically - apart from your feedback, humans aren’t involved. Stories are chosen based on a complex mix of analysis of what they’re about, how much you’re interested in similar topics, how long ago they were published, where in the world they come from, and other factors.
tiinker also sometimes presents lucky dip stories chosen to broaden the range of news you see, exploring new topics you might like.
How long will it take to learn what I like?
You should see stories becoming relevant to you after you’ve rated only a few articles, but getting a really good idea of what you like may take a few more visits. tiinker learns continually as you use it and will get better and better at choosing interesting stories over time.
