This is usually described as discovery to differentiate the process from search. The downside of Twitter discovery is that it depends on the group of individuals I follow and it is likely this group is biased by my personal biases.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible to access topical feeds that are both more prolific and unbiased. My favorite tool for this purpose has been Zite. This aggregator offers content in many categories I want to follow. Unfortunately, <a href=\"http:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2015\/11\/19\/flipboard-to-shutter-zite-on-127-asks-users-to-migrate-data-before-then\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\">Zite was just purchased by CNN<\/a> and will shut down on Dec. 7.

Even though the service is going away, a new user can tap into these information pools and transfer them to Flipboard.<\/p>\n<p>Zite is available for iOS and android.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;\" id=\"blogsy_footer\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogsyapp.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogsyapp.com\/images\/blogsy_footer_icon.png\" alt=\"Posted with Blogsy\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/>Posted with Blogsy<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_3774\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"3774\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The major value I find for Twitter is the surfacing of useful information I was not purposefully looking for.
