Feature release: Video and trending topics

Today we released a few major changes to Current.com. As I've mentioned in recent updates, we have some very specific plans for Current.com in 2010, and this release is another step in that direction. This is a big one, so hold on tight while I take you through the breakdown: Video Have you ever wished that Current.com had one page dedicated to watching our TV shows? Have you ever wanted to watch an entire season of Vanguard in one sitting? Or find all of our infoMania clips in one place? Well, the new video page on Current.com was made just for you. Sort by your favorite show, watch video in a continuous loop, and quickly jump from episode to episode in one big video consumption experience. Take our new video page for a test drive, and let us know what you think. Trending Topics As a part of this release, we've incorporated aggregated feeds of content from all around the Internet, and used them to create a brand new trending topics section on Current.com. Want to know how much of a buzz Google's latest release is making? Take a look at the trending topics section on the homepage. Each trend is accompanied by a graph displaying the overall trend line of the topic. Additionally, we've included images from the most recent stories to play into making that trend spike. If you click on the trend, you'll find a collection of stories from various sources all around the web. Clicking on each individual story will take you to the source of the story, with the Current bar at the top in case you decide to add the story to Current.com and kick off a discussion. Trending topics is an easy way to see what is rising and falling in popularity across the web, learn which stories are causing the trend, and turn those into hot discussions on Current.com. So here's your homework, play around with our new video page and our trending topics pages, and then let us know what you think over on Get Satisfaction. Both of these new sections are a big part of where we're going in 2010, and we have much more planned for these in the coming months, so stay tuned! added by: mario_a
