Blern Learns From Friendfeed

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Friendfeed is a new lifestreaming tool that has gotten a lot of notoriety lately, namely because it’s a pretty cool tool and also because the founders were bigwigs at Google.

Well, for those of you who are enjoying Friendfeed, Blern can now learn even more about you by analyzing what’s in your Friendfeed. Just update your Blern profile on your My Account page.

Blern Users Also Liked

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Blern now offers a WordPress plugin for your blog! The “Blern Users Also Liked” plugin allows you to display a list of articles on your blog that were enjoyed by Blern users who also enjoyed the current post.

In WordPress plugin speak: This plugin creates a new TemplateTag allowing users to put a widget on their blog that displays a listing of other news articles and blog posts. That list of articles is created by Blern.com using information about users who indicated that they liked the article currently being displayed and contains other articles those users liked.

For example, Blern will look over the history of users who indicated they liked the article currently being viewed. It will then look at the history of other articles those users also liked. It then compiles that information to display a list of articles that were most commonly liked by the users who liked the current article.

You can see an example of this feature in action at the bottom of this post. Or in the sidebar on the right side of the main Blern blog site.
