Pocket gets more personal with better feed recommendations based on friends and interests

Pocket has released an update that makes thing a little more personal and a little easier to find content you’re interested in. The new version allows you to follow interesting users that post and share content you care about, as well as the option to share and recommend your own personal favorites.

The recommended feed builds off of the feature base that Pocket rolled out back in August and works by letting you set up who you “follow” from your social media accounts and contacts. This obviously won’t help much if you aren’t friends with or follow avid Pocket users, but if you do, the feed will display things they’ve recommended. It doesn’t do this chronologically, which is a design choice, but instead by sorting things based on what it thinks you’ll like. Pocket monitors what you save and read, so it should be able to give a pretty personalized recommendation list here.

On the flip side of this, it also means you can recommend and share what you’re reading and watching in Pocket so that anyone who follows you can view it. It brings a new social aspect to the app, and includes an option to highlight and comment on particular sections of text for that extra personal touch. All of these recommendations show up on your Pocket profile for anyone to view.

You can grab the update below.
