How connections work
What are “connections” in myFeedz?
Well, basically, they are tags related to another tag. As you’re browsing myFeedz for new articles, you’ll notice a small, blue pod in the top right corner, that changes as you swap between tags. Say you’re reading news about “Adobe”. This is how the Connections pod would look like for the tag “Adobe”:
Essentially, these are hot topics about “Adobe” (or any other tag) that you could dive right into. (It’s interesting to see that “web” and “myfeedz” are now related to the name “Adobe” ;) ).
What are connections useful for?
Connections are just another way of browsing through myFeedz. You can use your tag cloud as a starting point, but why not wander off to one of the connected topics? Plus, you get to see which are the hot topics people talk and write about with regard to a given topic.
How are connections determined?
myFeedz looks at the freshest articles for a tag and extracts a set of the most frequently encountered words from those articles.
