To make staying informed easier, follow.it now lets you receive new stories directly in Slack.
We are excited to announce the launch of a completely overhauled user experience (UX) and layout for follow.it!
We’re excited to introduce a new type of feed on follow.it: API feeds, designed to deliver the content you care about most.
We’re excited to introduce a convenient new way to stay informed: the “Magazine” delivery option, delivering all your updates in just one email per week.
A main aim of follow.it is to enhance your productivity, and today we’re stepping it up by allowing you to consume content much faster.
As of today, you’ll see a new type of feed in the follow.it directory: Date feeds. They alert you of specific, scheduled “events” or “happenings”.
Most feeds in the follow.it directory are RSS-powered, which means they rely on a website’s RSS feed to check for new stories. While most websites come out of the box with an RSS feed, some don’t have one. Up to now, it wasn’t possible to follow those via follow.it. This now changes.
When you follow a feed (for example in the follow.it directory), you can select “news page” as one of many delivery channels. This allows you to read stories directly in your follow.it account. We improved the reading experience on the news page in several respects, and those went live today.
It’s just a small enhancement, but an important one: to bolster security further we now allow users to enable a double authentication process for accessing their follow.it accounts.
