Follow Your Favorite Posts and Stories with ‘Alwire’

We are all accustomed to "Follow" feature on many social platforms, thanks to twitter for making it extremely popular. You can follow users and trends on twitter and get consolidated updates in your feeds related to latest entertainment news, technology news, sports news and top stories. Pretty awesome!

Alwire, a rising social platform, tends to revolutionize how we receive and conceive news by taking control of news out of the hands of the mainstream media and giving that to ordinary people. They claim to bring to us real news by real people. Besides several new innovative ideas they bring to the table, they have also enhanced 'follow' feature by allowing users to follow a post, another reporter, city and even a street address.

While the first two may sound familiar but the latter two are very unique. So let's look at all four of them one by one.

Follow a Post - If you like a news and want to receive more updates on that, or, want to know what people are saying about that post, simply follow it. You will receive alerts, if enabled, as well as get notified via push notifications on your mobile app.

Follow a Reporter - When you follow a reporter, your feed shows all posts and updates posted by that user. Leveraging this, reporters can also publicize their public profile page by adding lots of quality posts and by attracting more followers.

Follow a City - Following a city will deliver the consolidated top news of that city into your feed. You can also view popular ads in that city and be the first one to grab best deals out there.

Follow a street address - This very unique feature is embedded into 'My neighborhoods' section which enables you to add your street address to automatically receive alerts and feeds for your street. You can follow up to 5 such addresses and stay up-to-date with them.

All these 4 options give users the incredible ability to alter their feeds. And just the way you can easily follow an address, city, reporter and post, you can unfollow these options at any time.

We are hopeful to see many more follow options in alwire in future.
