Cronycle is the best tool for researching content, filtering out what's irrelevant and curate in collaboration with your team

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Cronycle to get filtered content from a number of online sources for topics I'm interested in. I use this content to increase my knowledge on those topics and to populate the collaboration boards that I've created. I then add comments, additional links, upload files to these boards so I have a central, shared place to do my researches and keep track of all relevant content. Occasionally, I export boards into RSS feeds to plug them into other systems.

Pros

  • Find relevant content from multiple sources filtering out the noise.
  • Allow collaborators to work with shared boards, augmenting online content.
  • Produce feeds and newsletter from your researches and collaborative work.
  • Finding expert opinions on topics you are interested in.

Cons

  • Lack of Android mobile app.
  • Public views for boards, so you can send a link to an external collaborator to check your work.

Most Important Features

  • board collaboration.
  • search across board.
  • multiple feed sources.
  • publishing board content.

Return on Investment
