Breaking News App Update – Trends of Trends

The launch of Regator Breaking News has been a resounding success with a great initial group of users from many of the companies that were on our shortlist of prospective users. We couldn't be happier… okay, we could always be happier. Since we launched nearly two weeks ago, we've been very busy refining the technology that makes Regator Breaking News tick. We've also been getting some great constructive feedback from our users and incorporating it into the product as we go.

On the website, some subtle updates have been made. The most prominent improvement is that the alert page now autofreshes. So there's no need to reload the page to get the latest alerts if you're not able to use the desktop app. Thanks to Sara at CNN for that feature request.

One of the most obvious and useful updates that we've made to the desktop app is adding trends to the trends results and search columns. So now, instead of getting posts about a trend or search, users will get related trends at the top of the column. This provides additional context and a quick way to see what this term is related though. We're trying our best to add functionality that improves its utility, yet maintains the simplicity and smooth user experience of the app…

We are continuing to evolve the Regator Breaking News app rapidly, so keep an eye out for more new updates; and if you've got suggestions, let us know.
