Discover more content with Magnet

For those who have not used Magnet (and I must say where have you been? :-) ), the team has been working on taking Magnet with you, where ever you go.

Magnet is a number of things, but at the heart of it is a way for you to discover new content (blogs,  photos, videos) about the subjects or topics that matter to you.  Magnet does the heavy lifting - going across the web, through millions of webpages, and bringing you part of that - based on what you like.  Sounds hard?  Well, it is hard to do and the engineers behind magnet have been working long nights to pull this off.   But for you, it's is easy to start using it, and to discover content on subjects you like.

Magnet doesn't ask you to list what you are interested in - you can tell it if you like.  But rather than fill in forms, you start exploring. You can click on photos, and as you do this, Magnet slowly starts to determine what you are interested in.   You can also do a search (e.g. search for Britney Spears).  As you use Magnet, it will understand what you like, and present recommendations based on this.

You can use Magnet in a number of ways :

1) It's part of myAOL,  AOL's startpage.
2) It's part of HP's default homepage in the US. If you have an HP machine, Magnet is part of your default home page. 
3) Or if you use iGoogle, you can access Magnet from that page.


I use Magnet in a number of ways.  It knows I like cats, for example.  And boy do I get a lot of interesting content on cats using Magnet :-)

Give it a try and start discovering content on subjects you like, that you thought didn't exist. 

Go try Magnet now.
