Well, you need look no further than Rippla News, a tool created by Sunny Hundal. Rippla News aggregates the social shares of news stories and tweets hourly updates about which stories are trending at the moment:
“Every hour, RIPPLA retrieves and evaluates thousands of news stories from across the British media that were published in the last 24 hours, and rates them by their impact.”
Rippla is still in Beta, and problems with its algorithm have appeared (Noticeably, the tendency of the Daily Mail to re-publish articles, apparently automatically), but by-and-large, Rippla News offers an intriguing insight in to what news is making an impact when it comes to social shares.
Unsurprisingly, the Daily Mail makes up a significant number of shares, but beyond that, there may be an interesting study to be conducted – What news we share and why?
I'm a big fan for a number of reasons, but the geekish aspect of shares and social media analytics is one of the key reasons I follow @RipplaNews.
