"It's like having your own version of the DRUDGE REPORT"
That's what one of our alpha users said to me by email today in reference to our Newsmaker feature on socialmedian. Nice. Thanks!
Just like Drudge enables anyone/anywhere to follow the stories he's clipping on any given day, that's what socialmedian enables our users to do -- at a much greater scale.
On socialmedian you can follow people who share your interests and essentially get your news through them. We call the people you follow your "Newsmakers." You can easily track the stories your Newsmakers are clipping and discussing. Best of all, you can do that across many users all in one place.
And, of course, you can also become a Newsmaker yourself and build your own following.
As an example, here's what my own version of the drudgereport on socialmedian looks like to other users. As you can see, there is a list of recent stories I've clipped. If they want, my followers can just sit back and follow what I'm reading today. (Let me do the work for them).
And then here is what it looks like for the user on their personalized homepage where they can view the aggregated clippings of their Newsmakers, in this case me and a few other people this user has chosen to follow.

This is just the start but it's coming along nicely. We'll be looking at ways to enhance this feature set, enable more
personalization and customization, and enable users to take it to go via widgets on their blogs and social networks of choice.
