“When you first launch BOUNCE, you’ll be given the option to select which interests you pr efer to follow. This defines the initial set o f content BOUNCE will show to you. BOUNCE will look at your profiles and the content you have publicly shar ed to find additional interest s that could be relevant to yo u. Basically, it is your news, your style in your hands 24/7.”

Each of these actions teaches Bounce a little bit about user s’ interests and over time, it will get pretty good at predicting which stori es you love.
