At the heart of Newspond lies a fully automated news engine. This system continually watches over and reads hundreds of different websites, including everything from major news portals, to the tiniest blog, or forum. As a news story surfaces across one or more of these sites, Newspond notes every detail about it - from how fast a story spreads throughout the internet, to the amount of discussion surrounding the story, to even things like the rate at which people click on or bookmark the article and the size of each of the sites reporting it. Every detail is carefully noted, sized, and gauged, reading much faster than any human editor. That way, you don't need to visit multiple news sites to figure out what's going on.
Carefully, Newspond pieces together all of the intricate information nailing down exactly how much buzz a particular story has, and produces a number - the story's "Buoyancy Rating". This constantly changing number represents all the interlocking factors that make up the exact popularity of an article at any given point in time. Sorting stories by these popularity ratings reveals a stunningly-instant, up-to-the-second surface view of the entire internet as stories spread throughout it.
EXACT POPULARITY A Newspond Buoyancy Rating measures precisely the exact upward force exerted on a news story by the internet, in real-time. The story with the highest buoyancy floats above all the rest.
Unlike a social bookmarking site, Newspond's Buoyancy Ratings go both up and down with time. That way, you can easily see which article is the most popular on the internet right now. Of course, Newspond keeps a copy of the highest popularity rating that an article has ever attained, so you can easily see the top stories of the day, week, or month.
