Introducing PaperPrime: An Awesome Way to Follow & Collect the News

                    
                            
                                
                                    
                                        
                                            
                                            
                                            
                                                Hi! We’re a two-man team aiming at building the definite news reading experience for the real-time and social era. We just launched PaperPrime, an awesome way to follow and collect the news. Here are some insights about what we do, thanks for visiting!(tl;dr:Download our new app PaperPrime for iPhone and share some feedbacks with us! - It’s free)Restoring Harmony in Noisy reading experiencesIn the past, news used to be reported by a few people, after the facts. Today anybody is able to report the news as it breaks in real-time – on an ever-growing number of social platforms.While it’s became easier to share content, the resulting noise paradoxically makes it harder to consume information.Forcing users to manually create feed-filtering lists or handpick RSS powered sources to address this issue is déjà vu and inefficient.Turning multi-network content into evenly persistent and actionable resourceBeyond noise, the variety of networks involved in accessing stories not only makes them fragmented but also not evenly actionable.For instance, 99% of the people interested in technology conferences, where - a lot - of the major technology news break, are multi-tasking on 3 to 4 social networking apps at nearly the same time.That’s a lot of work to get a better grasp of what’s happening and educate themselves.Ultimately, If we care about a Facebook post, a Tumblr entry and a Tweet about the same topic, we must be able to contextualise and organise this content in a collection, and interact with it in a way that makes sense for all three platforms at the same time.Our front page: easy access to topic-specific collections.RSS versus Big DataWe built PaperPrime as our interpretation of an automated newspaper for the real-time and social era. It’s a social news aggregator and personal curator that generates more relevant, multi-network and collectible feeds of the world’s most exciting events and trends.Instead of just syndicating well-established media outlets through RSS, our big data powered technology, “Alchemy”, lets us :Detect the most exciting events and online trendsGenerate corresponding collections on the front pageFuel our collections with social news from the most knowledgeable online expertsAlchemy makes it possible to literally turn anybody into the guest editor of any of our collection of news.Guest editors in the #sxsw and #ultra collectionsCollectible feeds?To be able to provide the same level of actionability, no matter where the news are coming from, we built a social bookmarking layer on top of Alchemy. We call it “Constellation”.That’s the first illustration of how we’re creating what we call a meta social engagement experience.Nearly everything from collections, to news through media and people is bookmarkable on the platform.The very action of bookmarking content is a common denominator across all the social platforms we support: Facebook, Twitter, Sina Weibo, Instagram, Vine, Tumblr, Google+, WordPress, YouTube and Dailymotion.Your profile is customised as you grow your collection of bookmarks.Fun aside, this provides a handy access to what interested you the most as you were following the news.Now and TomorrowWith this 0.9 version of PaperPrime, we’re far from having entirely shipped what our vision is about.It’s very challenging for a two-man team to iterate towards that goal as quickly as we would like to, but we’re working hard to make the value of this new news consumption paradigm become more and more apparent in the coming days and weeks.We’re also looking forward to having more people join us in this journey and getting as many feedbacks as possible to improve our product (reach us at hi@paperprime.com).Among the things we’re currently working on, we’re extremely excited to show off what Alchemy can do in terms of providing you with hyper-contextual content and a more personalised user experience thanks to Constellation.Expect another blog post about this very soon! But for now download the free PaperPrime for iPhone!Also, don’t hesitate to spread the love on Twitter with the button below, it could definitely help in this David versus Goliath Startup World.Looking forward to hearing from you,PaperBoys
