• iphone & android now include a native search feature for all real-time buzz (a mobile version of search.popurls.com)
• popular twitter stories have been added to the regular mobile & blackberry edition

on a side note, the regular mobile site currently uses a gateway to reformat web sites for phone browsers. given the increasing capabilities of those devices i will soon change all links to go directly to the target sites - let me know if you’re a heavy user and think that you might run into problems with that.

• i receive a lot of emails from users who read an interesting story the other day but forgot to bookmark the url. popurls archive to the rescue - a daily snapshot to catch up on the news in the unlikely event that you missed a day of popurls or just lost the link to that flickr photo.
• popurls search is not only the fastest buzz index next to twitter but it also offers you a neat way to track certain keywords in near real-time by subscribing to the feed url that you’ll get for each query on the results page.
• the quickies section on the bottom of the page is still one of the most frequented parts of popurls, but unlike its name there’s also a widely unknown feature to view additional stories from a site by simply clicking its name which opens the respective headline box.

thanks for taking the time! ]]> http://pophub.com/popurls-101-part-i/feed/ http://pophub.com/popurls-101-part-i/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/popurls/~3/a5P-9vbjNm0/ http://pophub.com/content-updates-0905/#comments Mon, 04 May 2009 16:01:03 +0000 thomas http://pophub.com/?p=511

to celebrate three years of pop the site has undergone a small facelift (+ new feature) and i’m giving away a brand new sony playstation 3 in classic popurls black. all it takes to enter the contest is sending a quick birthday greeting to @popurls on twitter before march 8th (option is for the US or EU version of the PS3; make sure your twitter user is linked to any way of contact).
