It’s safe to say most of us here at Taptu are news junkies. We each seem to have endless lists of favorite sites, blogs, newspapers and magazines that we love to follow. So you can imagine our fascination and delight on discovering some new sources courtesy of none other than the My Taptu community.
Since we launched in mid-November, we’ve noticed that a whole lot of sharing of stories has been going on in My Taptu as the community have posted their favorites to Twitter, Facebook, or emailed them to friends. As the number of these shared stories have steadily climbed, we’ve found ourselves whiling away the hours browsing the number of interesting articles–some from sources we already love, and some from ones we were happy to discover. For us, stumbling upon these stories added a bit of happy serendipity to the app.
Today, we’ve added a new stream in My Taptu—the aptly named, “Most Shared” one that compiles the most popular stories that the My Taptu community is sharing on Twitter, Facebook or emailing to their friends. We hope you find the articles just as interesting as we do and see the stream as a great way to keep up with what’s trending and to discover new sources of content you may not have even known about. And, if you’ve seen an interesting story, and want the wider My Taptu community to see, remember, all you have to do is share it!
The stream, called “Most Shared” can be found in our StreamStore. To add the stream:
1) Tap on the + Add sign on the iPhone, and the + sign in the right hand corner on Android devices to take you to the StreamStore.
2) In the StreamStore, tap on “Most Shared”. If you are using an iPhone, click “Done” in right hand corner. If you are using an Android phone, hit the back button. Hit the “Close” button in iPhone. Hit the back button on Android.
3) My Taptu takes you back to the home screen where you will see the Most Shared stream at the top.
