The most popular keywords and sites of 2015
Here’s a word cloud of StreetEYE headlines in 2015 (click to embiggen).
Greece (remember Greece?) beat out China for the biggest headline-bait of the year. Tsipras even beat out Yellen, although Grexit ended up a non-event. (To my surprise actually…Schäuble and Varoufakis were both apparently playing for Grexit, so I thought it would take a miracle. The center held, but the political cost to Europhiles like Merkel, Hollande, Draghi, Renzi hasn’t been counted yet.)
One thing that makes me happy: we posted stories from 1536 unique domains in 2015. We (or you, our readers and curators) posted about 65 headlines a day. About half were from the ‘Big 5’ of Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, and Reuters. The balance were from the long tail of domains (see below).
The most-clicked stories of 2015 were quality features, but sometimes a little click-baity. We’re all about the good headlines.
Details below. Thanks for coming along on this journey. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know. Have a great 2016!
