The Hoodin process to detect, validate and add new sources
How does new sources becomes added to Hoodin? Well, a high level description of the process is as follows.
Sources are detected in two ways. Either a source may be requested by a user or one of the external industry experts that Hoodin collaborates with. This is the "crowd forces" that Hoodin uses to detect and validate new sources.
Secondly, there is an internal process that is ongoing 24/7. The high level mechanisms of the process is that Hoodin scans for sources that are similar to the once already existing and multiple tools are used to detect these sources, such as Alexa ranking and indexing tools and related analytics techniques. Besides the machine part, there is always a manual part where the final step is a manual validation to secure that the source is reliable and that Hoodin may tag the source (topics, type of content, type of author etc) so that users easily can find the sources by filtering and search in Hoodin.
