Users Can Now Categorize Stories Based on Six Distinct Descriptors
DailyWe Section Now Shows News by Emotion and Popularity
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) August 20, 2008 --
DailyMe, Inc. (http://dailyme.com) is
putting a face to the news.
The interactive media and technology start-up today announced the launch
of Meme-It, which allows users to vote on news stories based on the
responses the stories trigger. DailyMe users can choose from six
distinct descriptors by clicking on the appropriate Meme-It icon, which
is a small, descriptive graphic based on the smiley.
In addition, Meme-It descriptors are now being used to rank stories on
the community-driven DailyWe section of the website. By clicking on a
particular Meme-It descriptor at the top of the DailyWe community page,
users can see a list of stories that other readers have judged to fit
that emotion. For example, readers might choose to view the most
uplifting stories of the day or week. Alternatively, they might select
the most tragic. Meme-It allows DailyWe to provide greater context to
the stories it presents than simple up-and-down voting would allow.
“Community-driven news represents an important
facet of the DailyMe experience, so we've been seeking a more meaningful
ranking of stories that goes beyond simple popularity. Ultimately, the
news stories that matter most to us are those that trigger an emotional
response, whether insightful or tragic, humorous or uplifting. By
launching Meme-It, we are acknowledging the emotional nature of news and
allowing users to share their own responses with the entire DailyMe
community," said Neil Budde, President, Chief Product Officer of DailyMe.
The six Meme-It descriptors available to users are: "insightful,"
"tragic," "humorous," "uplifting," "enlightening" and "just weird."
