My Topics
How do topics get identified as "My Topics"? And how do I control the process (or is this entirely automatic)?
I noticed that certain keywords were being highlighted even with Calais off, and noticed that these keywords were also chosen to appear at the top of the home page. I don't see any mechanism to add, remove, or influence topics however.

Inappropriate?Hi Phil. Today the process is automated (and not directly related with the calais highlights). We are working on giving users 4 way to better control this:
1) There will soon be a mute option to tone down a topic
2) There will soon be a track option to follow a topic
3) We are reworking the matching logic to give more weight to topics which are referencing favorite sources (I think you suggested something around this in one of your previous post).
4) We are working on compressing the list and removing duplicate topics.
Soon in this context is about 2 weeks.
This is going to be an iterative process so if you have suggestions beyond those 4 please let us know.
Thanks,

Inappropriate?Sounds like things are heading in a very interesting direction with the 4 items above.
As I understand it, the topic-centric approach described above is really keyword-centric. I expect such an approach to be useful, but obviously single keywords (or keyphrases) are not an ideal way to organize into conceptual topics. For example, if I search my feeds for "Whole Foods", I get otherwise unrelated posts on an ongoing Antitrust case, organic farmers in the Central Valley, and Onion T'faya. Unless I really am interested in Whole Foods generally, I would want to distinguish them. The same goes for muting.
I am curious whether you intend to tackle this issue or to instead stick to simpler keyword approach.
It's probably complicated to go much beyond the conceptual framework that you have, but would it complicate things too much to have a tracking option that encompasses multiple keywords/phrases? It seems like this would essentially be saved Explore searches. -
Inappropriate?We are definitely working on how to go from one keyword to a combined/related set of keywords. It might take a couple of iterations but this is definitely something we want to crack.
