The underlying magics
Under the hood, Cascaad leverages semantic and social recommender technologies to give you a personalized, real-time experience of the social web based on your personal interests and social affinities. The breakthrough personalized recommender engine behind Cascaad automatically learns to adjust the community-driven ranking of published items based on their match with your own interest and social profile. Your profile gets updated automatically on the basis of the content you like, dislike or interact with. Hence the more you use Cascaad, the better it gets.
