Before I start going into some details, please take a look at the blog posts on the foll. Pulse pages :

You'll notice that some of the blog posts have their last line starting out with "Most Read in:" followed by the names of countries ( up to 5 ). These are the countries that the corr. blog post is currently being most read in ( or most popular in ).

The key word here is currently. It is literally up to the second popularity of the corr. blog post. We are not reproducing a post's historical popularity here, but instead its popularity just now ( i.e. presently, or more precisely, the very recent past ).

As an example, there might be multiple blog posts about an 'e-coli outbreak', and there might be some blog posts that are currently more popular or being read more widely in your country. These might be the ones that you are inclined to read up on first, as they might contain more relevant information. And thats exactly is the thinking behind launching this feature, ready access to information that is timely as well as geo-contextually relevant.

This feature has been built using our 'Geo-Popularity Platform'. For more info. and details, please click here.

We would love to hear your ideas on how this platform can be further utilized. Can you think of some cool & interesting apps that you would like to build on top of this platform ? If yes, we would love to open the platform up via APIs, so its data can be further utilized. Please write to us with your thoughts/ideas to feedback[at]wowzio[dot]com, or use our feedback form.
