Weekly “Top 20” digest email
The weekly digest email includes the 20 highest scoring posts from the last week based on the “Top News” algorithm built into Aurea Social.
The top news algorithm tracks user preferences for particular tags, communities, types of activity stream events (e.g. questions) and other users.
The algorithm then scores each stream item based on all those inputs, and the highest scoring twenty items are included in the email.
