Noovo.com - What's noo?

Noovo is still in early stages of its development and I am happy to see you among it's first users.

First of all, what Noovo isn't? Noovo is not a social network.

So, what is Noovo all about?

We created Noovo to solve our own problems of using the web- specifically, we were dreaming of a tool which could help us sift through all the information noise with the help of social recommendations and a service which could help us share any kind of content, in one place. All of which should be as simple as possible.

What can you do on Noovo?

1. Read the Cover page.

First of all, you can start by reading the content on the cover page. The default view is called 'Recommended' and this is the magical bit. Click on the Lightbulb icon (Why did we recommend this?). Our algorithms analyze large amount of data and recommend you the most relevant content based on what we know about you and your behavior (articles that you click or comment on, what you vote, time that you spend on a particular page and so on). If you like the recommendation click Thumb Up, if you don't Thumb Down.

Alternatively, you have the 'Hot' filter, the latter shows content with the fastest acceleration- which basically means we can predict which content has the likeliest chance of becoming popular.

2. Configure your reader.

On the cover page you can add pages with feeds, where you can follow your favorite blogs or news sources in it, add groups or people you discover wish to follow on Noovo. Based on what you read, you are going to influence other's people Cover page.  Discover sources which you had never heard of - just type in a category and you will be displayed with suggestions. We have a couple of thousands of different sources in Noovo  - from New York Times and wine blogs to design, architecture or just weird stuff. 

If you like a story, a picture or a video, and have no time to read it, click on the Star icon to save it as  your favorite.

You can also Share the story to your friends, even those who are not registered Noovo members. Another exciting feature is "Re-post to..." - you can take a story and republish it on your Noovo page with one click. All three buttons can be found on every content page before the comments.

3. Customize your Profile and share your favorite content.

Organize events, share files, post videos, picture or stories. Start a group. Change the design ('Design') and select which languages you want to read content in. If you are using Firefox,  go to Add Something page and install the "Take it to Noovo" or "Noovo Broadcaster" shortcut for quick adding link to articles from around the web.  Click 'Add widgets' on your profile or group page to add some additional boxes. Drag them with your mouse pointer to wherever you want - try the right column.

You can share content publicly with the rest of the world, or only with selected friends. When you click on the Add something button, choose 'Who can see it?' preferences and choose those who you want to share it with. There is much more, but I don't want to spoil the game and will leave some of it for you to discover.

Thanks again for registering and I am superexcited to start sharing content with you on Noovo,

Andrej
