A free web and mobile app delivering personalized content recommendations based on user interests and reading habits
BlinkList is a free web and mobile application designed to help users discover interesting content and save it to easily access later. It works by analyzing articles, blogs, and websites to deliver personalized recommendations tailored to each user's interests and reading preferences.
When a user adds content to BlinkList, either by bookmarking an article or integrating with services like Twitter or Facebook, BlinkList scans the content to understand the main topics and ideas. It then compares this information against the user's existing library and interests to recommend additional relevant content the user may enjoy reading.
A key feature of BlinkList is its proprietary algorithm called BlinkRanking. BlinkRanking evaluates thousands of data points on each article including text analysis, reading patterns, sharing trends, and user feedback to determine the most useful, shareworthy content for each person. Over time, BlinkList gets smarter about delivering recommendations aligned to users' tastes.
Users can save content to the BlinkList apps for iOS, Android, Kindle, browser extensions, and more. All saved content is synced across devices automatically, allowing users seamless access. Other handy features include listening to articles read aloud via text-to-speech and adjustable reading settings like font size and night mode.
