Hello friends, I wanted to invite you to check out my new project, \*[Sharengeti.com](http://Sharengeti.com)[http://sharengeti.com/](http://sharengeti.com/) \*, a _social news_ site that uses machine learning to _recommend articles_based on your _unique preferences_. If you are willing to spend a few minutes and try out the site, you won't regret it. Finding great stuff to read has never been easier! Before you get started, here are a few more details about the site to give you some context: Sharengeti is a community-driven collection of the best links on the Web, > delivering a _tailored browsing experience to each user_. Users submit > fresh, quality links to the site and the community votes on what it likes. > This has two effects: > > 1. Links that receive the highest number of votes bubble their way up > to the front page > 2. Sharengeti learns the unique preferences of each user and generates > for them a customized feed of recommended items If you are willing, here are some things you can do to help out: 1. _Use the site_ - Create an account, submit an item, give a thumbs-up for items you like and thumbs-down for items you don't like. - If there's a feature you'd like to see, or you have a suggestion for improving the site, please let me know. You can send me email[brandon.sterne@gmail.com](mailto:brandon.sterne@gmail.com)directly, or use the contact page [http://sharengeti.com/contact/](http://sharengeti.com/contact/). 2. _Let me know if you have questions_ - If you have a question, and it is not covered in the help section[http://sharengeti.com/help/](http://sharengeti.com/help/)of the site, please let me know. - Someone else is guaranteed to have the same question, and I plan to incorporate these into a FAQ section. If you've come this far, maybe you're willing to come a little further... Any of the following would be hugely helpful in spreading the word: 1. _"Like" the Facebook page_ - If you are on Facebook, please go to the Sharengeti page[https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sharengeti/204489469595701](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sharengeti/204489469595701), and click "Like". If I get enough likes, I can get a dedicated FB page that doesn't have the long string of digits in it. - I realize there's not much there now, but this page will eventually have plenty of content on it for users to interact with. 2. _Retweet my announcement_ - If you use Twitter, please retweet this: [https://twitter.com/#!/bsterne/status/150705983960780800](https://twitter.com/#!/bsterne/status/150705983960780800) 3. _Tell people you know about it_ - The best type of advertising is word-of-mouth. I'd greatly appreciate it if you can share the site with your friends and family. I am very excited to share this project with you. It's been a labor of love for quite a while now and the site is really working well. The people that are using it are getting great recommendations and are having fun sharing what they're reading with their friends. Let me know what you think! Happy holidays, Brandon Sterne ---
