💡 MajorNews - Top Google searches of the day

[wizardave]

Introduction

I own the domain name MajorNews.com. I am interested in developing a web site using (open source) tied to Steemit and maybe other platforms with monetary rewards. I have 1000+ ideas about how this could work, but the #1 thing you must do when developing a new web site is find out what interests people the most. If I added all 1000+ ideas, it would be a bit overwhelming.

• Looking for anyone who wants to be part of our team. Graphic artists, programmers, idea people, marketers, entrepreneurs, investors ... ??? ... Comment your interest and area(s) of expertise.

MajorNews Experiment #3:

Purpose: Try a few different things, see if anyone likes any of the ideas...
in other words... sling some mud on the wall and see what sticks.

• Today's jabi:
• Take a look at top Google searches to see if what people search for is news

Random Notes:

If you have any ideas, please comment below.

• One important aspect we would like to have for MajorNews.com is to build a directory of news topics. Example: Sports, Politics, Health... ...

  • What would the top topic be for a meteor shower?
    Would it fall under nature? weather?

• Sports captured 4 of the 10 spots. 3 (American) Football + 1 boxing

• Entertainment was 1 spot.

  • WizNote: Isn't it interesting that Newsweek is reporting on a SNL rerun

• Politics had 2 spots - Trump + Hawaii primary elections

• I do not think this page would be very useful.

  • You cannot look at the entire world searches. This particular list was of United States searches.
  • The article provided isn't always directly related.
  • Their ??AI?? takes a pretty broad selection of searches and combines them.

Instead of trying to categorize each news story , why not let the power of the blockchain decide on top ten stories? For beta purposes just let anyone post any news story. We could also make people look over stories and vote at least one news story already up before they post. This would slow down on duplicate posting about the same news story.

The first problem I see in a beta program will be a story blowing up with comments. I think each story will need to split at least 3 wide. This first split could be world, national, and regional. This could start the process of categorizing and simple enough for each poster to do without much thought.
