High quality resources are then searched for relevant content 6. Reading recommendations are served along with the best nuggets and themes 7. Pugmarks then starts working to create good Reading Cards 8. Freshly baked reading cards are displayed on your New Tab Staying in context Imagine a technology and user experience, that understands your mood, your conversation, your current reading, your near meetings - and brings relevant information automatically to you. This is called contextual discovery. Pugmarks smart has contextual discovery built into it. Pugmarks finds out the address of the page you are reading (through events and callbacks) and understands the contents of the page. This information is used to bring you high quality recommendations. Preserving Privacy You tend to visit a variety of pages. And you don’t want to be served recommendations everywhere. Pugmarks uses an extensive set of rules to figure if a page deserves recommendations. On a page that's deemed worthy of recommendations, Pugmarks will send the URL to its servers. User state is used for the sole purpose of improving recommendations and it is cleared when unnecessary. Understanding context The word 'context' means a lot. Understanding context refers to the ability to read a user's mind. Many digital signals are available to decipher some of these: • What is the page about? • What are the underlying themes in the page? • Is the page on a topic familiar to the user? ….and many more Pugmarks answers several of these questions before it brings you recommendations that can be useful. Multistream retrieval The Web has long since moved on from being a web of documents. Today, more content flows close to people through their social media. Pugmarks has recognized the nature of the web today - and built algorithms to help retrieve good stuff from social media. We call this multi-stream retrieval. Anticipatory News Discovery Pugmarks anticipates the kind of news a you need, based on the signals we gather – from your current and past reading, your social connections, trends in the world. These are delivered as Reading Cards in the New Tab. Reading cards are precise recommendations on topics important to your current context. They include: 1) News 2) Trending correlations 3) Popular articles 4) References 5) Social endorsements * Requires signup on Pugmarks.me
