Viddyou: The Blog.

Homepage Algorithm Update

Tonight we’re pushing an update that affects our internal weighting system responsible for selecting the lucky four videos to featured on the homepage every day. The new system is designed to showcase videos from our community that represent what the Viddyou experience is all about.

While we generally keep our “secret sauce” somewhat private, I can tell you that our automated system takes over twelve different factors into account when selecting the featured videos for the day including: relevance, activity, quality, and community feedback. Only videos that have their privacy setting set to “Public” are considered for the front page.

We hope you enjoy the change and discover some new cool people on Viddyou!
