Shakin’ up the News

A large part of my job is to answer questions, and one we often get is how long it takes between when an article is published and when it hits Newsdesk. It varies, of course, but let’s look at a recent example.

On Tuesday, the eastern United States experienced an earthquake that occurred at 1:50pm EDT. 11 minutes later, stories about the quake were available in Newsdesk and the Metabase. We felt the rumbles pass through our Ohio office just a few short minutes before we finished processing the news about them. By the time we knew what had happened, so did Newsdesk.

The Noon-4pm data point spikes way up

I’ve written before about the quickness of Newsdesk in its coverage of Oslo, the debut of Google+, and the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound. Zak has written about a disaster of a different sort.

More Newsdesk features

Our development team is hard at work and every couple of weeks we release updates to Newsdesk. Here’s what we added most recently, based on your feedback:

1. Expanded search box

For complex or long queries, the previous search box just wasn’t cutting it. Meet our new expandable box that easily handles long search strings.

2. Customizable chart colors

When charting data from your saved searches, you can manually set the colors if you do not like the defaults.

3. More data to download

We have TRIPLED the amount of data you can download via our Analytics tab, so you can run more extensive analyses on your own.

Expect more updates next week!
