Introducing Top Topics

Posted
by Jonathan Abbett
One advantage of crawling Jewish media across dozens of sources is seeing trends emerge: what is the Jewish world talking about?

Whenever we curate an article or episode, we use AI to generate a set of tags (e.g. "Yiddish" or "Jewish Students") that describe the content. We can identify trends based on the number of times articles get tagged with a certain phrase.

With today's site update, our home page will now show the top 10 topics from the previous 7 day's content. Click a topic and you can see all items covering the topic.

(If you're looking for the "My Bookmarks" area, it has now moved to the left navigation under "Bookmarks.")

In addition, when you're viewing a single item, the list of the item's tags are now linked to see other items with that tag.

Happy exploring!
