Updates

I've been busy updating the "Current Buzz" section. What is the "Current Buzz" section? This is the continuation of a project that I created at the beginning of 2010 code-named "Newds" (because nothing should come between you and the news... not even clothes). Those links come from users like you who've shared them within the social web. I collect the links from conservative social web streams and then I group them by url. That way I can rank them by how many times they've been shared.

Once I get the the links in order, I then search the web for additional stories that are likely related. That way you have more stories to read if something really catches your eye. The best part of this service is that it constantly updates automatically.

Think of "Current Buzz" as a crowdsourced, and more relevant "Drudge Report". I contend that the Current Buzz is more relevant because conservatives' sharing activity is what generates this content - rather than some intern at the Drudge Report slogging through newswire feeds . After all, who knows more about what sort of content you want to read than you?

I'll be making more enhancements to this over the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

I welcome your feedback, so get at me on Twitter. I'm @brooksbayne.
