An experimental Boston Globe Lab geo-focused Twitter aggregator

"Every 10 minutes, 61Fresh takes a spin around a localized slice of Twitter searching for rising news items. On any given day, you’re likely to find stories on apartment fires, startup companies, or the Bruins. Unlike some aggregators that mix in some human control, 61Fresh is 100 percent algorithm-driven — which means both that it runs without the need for ongoing staff resources and that the end product can be a little raw, with different versions of the same story repeated during breaking news." - Nieman Lab https://www.niemanlab.org/2013/09/the-hub-of-the-twitterverse-the-boston-globe-has-built-a-localized-tweet-powered-news-aggregator/
