Users can designate a specific keyword that will be used in providing featured content. If you have ever seen a breaking news alert on, say, CNN.com, then you can possibly see the value of keyword based “content floating”. Need everything tagged ‘Mumbai’ to show up as ‘featured’? What about ‘Red Sox’ around World Series time? This will take some of the hand-rolling currently necessary out of designating featured articles.
