Bodegga
An online newsfeed that filters and curates top news read by people in your area without the removing the serendipitous discovery of browsing your favorite newspaper.
Bodegga is a web application that explores how a publication can bridge the gap between digital publishing and a user’s lifestyle to create a more intuitive way to read the news. The site cross-references a user's location with the most read content by other people nearby, creating a "Most Read" list of stories fueled by seamless secondary-gatekeeping.
