We've been real busy working on rolling out new features for you guys, and this is just the beginning of much more to come! Last week, we launched our event photo gallery, and this week, we're rolling out a new "trending" module, which is located on the right hand column of the site. Why are we doing this? Well, in short, allkpop posts a ton of stories daily, and although we think you should eat, breathe, and live K-pop, we also know that real life can "interfere" with this goal from time to time. As a solution, for those of you who want to review the most popular ongoing stories, we now have a few options to satisfy your addiction. While it's true that we already have a "most commented" module, comments aren't always an accurate way of determining a popular story. Therefore, we've decided to create three additional methods of displaying popular topics/stories. The first method is "trending on allkpop", which involves a special algorithm designed to determine the hottest topics on allkpop. The second method is "trending on twitter", which involves displaying the top retweeted stories on allkpop. The third method is "trending on facebook", which involves displaying the top liked/shared stories on allkpop, but also puts an emphasis on what your friends are liking/sharing to determine what's best for you. We genuinely hope you guys like the new trending feature, as our community definitely plays a huge role in which stories and topics are branded hot issues. We hope you guys put it to good use, and use it to help out our readers who need to know what's going down! So start liking, sharing and retweeting - Happy trending!
