Cassandra Daily:
Prismatic is a news aggregation and recommendation engine that generates a personal newsfeed filled with wide-ranging news that might otherwise go unnoticed. The app achieves this by basing recommendations on what’s trending across entire social media platforms instead of generating content based on an individual’s social networks. Skimming from the top of Twitter instead of zeroing in on a user’s circle ensures that content isn’t limited to what’s found in the filter bubble. To personalize the experience, Prismatic takes a cue from Pandora—through an innovative algorithm, users can respond positively or negatively to articles, determining the kinds of content that will be delivered in the future.
