## Overview:

## Need and Target Audience:

News websites are littered with a number of different topics, all of which are not displayed based on their users preferences. These days people are often on the move and don’t have time to browse a dozen pages to find topics that they are interested in, oftening missing out on key events that happen throughout the day.
News websites are littered with a number of different topics, but not displayed based on user's preferences. These days people are often on the move and don’t have time to browse a dozen web pages to find topics that they are interested in, oftening missing out on key events that happen throughout the day.

The target audience are those who are out of the loop of current trending topics, wanting to quickly catch up on events occurring during the day. Realink allows user to log in, and quickly filter topics relevant to their interests, and also select which websites they would like to see links from. For example, if the user is interested in politics and science from BBC News, Realink will scan for links in those sections, then check against various social media platforms to see which of those links are trending, and display them in order filtering out the noise. This saves them time, allowing them to go about their day.

Most of the content available online is event driven, meaning that it generates a series of events that make it fairly simple to measure engagement to some extent. Not only social media activities, but also the content itself might be linked and shared on other websites, and therefore it might have higher relevance to the user.
