If you feel like you never have time to go through everything in your daily news feed, the new curated news app called ‘Nuzzel’ may be the perfect solution for you. The app helps to filter through hundreds of thousands of articles to create a customized news feed based only on what your friends are reading or sharing on social media. The result is a more personalized news feed based on what is relevant to you and your interests.
The curated news app works by analyzing what your friends have read and the articles they have shared. Nuzzel then uses that information to show you only the most important headlines. In essence, you no longer have to read through the daily news because your friends will do it for you. There is also a friends-of-friends feed that will show you what others are reading, which gives you an even broader scope of what articles are popular in your social circle. The result of this system is news feed aggregation that is more interesting, timely and relevant to you and your daily life.
