Follow on Google News | TUAW uses Voices Heard Media’s EventBox to hear out their usersIn 2010, TUAW used the EventBox to amplify their coverage, encouraging users to vote for the ‘best of’ software, hardware and apps.
By: Madison Bushell This year, however, TUAW allowed users to submit their favorites via a Voices Heard Media EventBox. The correlation engine organized and prioritized the comments, letting the most popular rise to the top. TUAW then announced the top favorites live at their MacWorld stream. More than 70 percent of page viewers interacted with the EventBox, and the system correlated 26% of all submissions (reducing the number of repeat submissions and associated moderation effort). “Our correlation technology is such a unique aspect of our product,” comments Voices Heard Media’s CEO Will Overstreet. “It nearly cuts your workload in half. It tells you what your users want, don’t want, like, don’t like.” In the process, TUAW learned that its visitors’ favorite social media platform is Twitter, which allowed it to re-direct their staff time to Twitter instead of Facebook. In fact, Voices Heard Media analytics showed that of the 229 shared items, 131 went to Twitter and 56 were posted on Facebook. TUAW also listened to its audience and focused later content on their passions; for example, more emphasis on apps instead of hardware.
