In collaboration with our users, Maltego Monitor (previously PublicSonar) has developed a new advanced sorting option for the message feed.
Besides the standard way of sorting, with the chronological order of new messages on top, users can now also sort messages by Relevance.
What are relevant messages?
The relevance of a message is determined by looking at the properties of messages that our users deem to be relevant. Think f.e. about:
- If the message contains a picture, video or link
- From which public source the message comes from
- Whether the account that posted the message is verified or not
On the basis of various properties, including but not limited to the ones above, Maltego Monitor (previously PublicSonar) developed an algorithm that sorts messages with the highest relevance to the top of the message feed.
How to use sorting by relevance
A new sorting function is a useful tool when you don't have the time to read all of the messages but still want to check if any relevant messages were found. Sorting on new messages, however, remains the standard way of sorting the feed.
Want to see it for yourself? Open a case and choose the option 'Relevancy'.
