ThemeFusion

Topico is a human-curated social news platform built around the idea of “news without noise.” Rather than prioritizing personal posts, comments, memes, or algorithm-driven feeds, it organizes news links into topic-specific collections called Newsrooms. Users can create Newsrooms on subjects such as technology, climate change, Los Angeles, movies, or elections, then curate articles from different sources for others to browse or follow. Newsrooms may be public, collaborative, or limited to selected members.

Topico’s features are designed to support focused discovery and sharing. Trend Surfing lets users explore topics connected through current news coverage, moving from one subject to related topics in a visual interface. Members can recommend or decline to recommend articles, share links with followers, and receive notifications when their posts are recommended. Community recommendations also contribute to identifying the “Most Interesting Person” on a topic, highlighting contributors whose articles are valued by readers. Topico’s stated philosophy is to make online news discovery more informative and focused by separating journalism from the distractions common to social networks.
