3
Choosing topics manually is not efficient.
As the number of topics increases,
machine filtering cannot guarantee the
quality of notification.
Web-redirecting reading cannot promise
the reading experience. The reading
method of redirecting to the website
may cause fonts disunity or require users
to log in (such as weibo information). It
is problematic for a application that
focuses on reading information.
The number of topics is limited. Readers
can easily read through the whole topic
list and the topics are not classified
properly

more important. So journalists and editors need to
improve the speed of information spreading and their
work efficiency to meet the needs of news receivers. Jike
can help them to achieve it.

They do not need to spend time on gathering and
distinguishing information.
Journalists and editors can easily get the developments of
news events they chase. The system will follow every topic
and crawl related information about it. Once the topic is

As information overload is prevalent in Internet era, users
have stronger demand of receiving valuable information
quickly.
Setting personalized information as the breakthrough
point, the application help users concentrate on the
content they are interested in. Before I found this app, I
usually have to use many apps to get information I want
to know.
In addition, personalized subscription help Jike to collect
the data of users with better quality. The function helps
Jike to provide more personalized recommendation for
users and lays a good foundation of commercialization.
