TechFeed Pro is "the strongest on earth" information service and social network for engineers. The predecessor, "TechFeed", was a service where algorithms automatically collect and aggregate technical information from around the world and deliver it to users. The higher-level version, "TechFeed Pro", utilizes the results of direct hearings and user tests from over 30 experts, making it an information service for engineers that is unique in the world. [High information quality] The information gathering algorithm has been designed from scratch to provide highly professional and high quality information in real time. Many experts have said that "no noise" and "you can find information that you cannot find anywhere else". [Over 200 specialized channels] TechFeed "channels" are over 200 online communities designed exclusively for engineers. Just join the channel and you'll get everything your engineers want to know in real time, from release to pull request. The information on the channel is constantly updated by us with the help of experts. No more maintenance of information sources. [Aim Expert! Expert mode installed! ] There are two modes for following channels. Usually in normal mode. We will meet the needs of "I don't need too detailed information, but I want to keep up with trends." In contrast to Expert Mode information, Expert Mode allows you to obtain high-level information from overseas experts in real time. An information experience that was realized because we thoroughly analyzed the needs and technical information of engineers. Switch easily according to your level of interest and understanding. [Automatic translation and bookmarks] Engineers, anyway, I would like to touch on primary English information and high-quality information. TechFeed will fully support such engineers. Equipped with an automatic translation function for titles and comments. But again, it takes time to read English. So you need to read it later. Therefore, TechFeed has a highly functional bookmark button that works in conjunction with Hatena Bookmark and Pocket. [Building a social network specialized for IT engineers] The new TechFeed is thoroughly social. Follow a user to receive their activity in real time. Which articles you bookmarked, shared, read. Your friends and experts will give you the information you missed.
