About CryptoQuery

CryptoQuery is a website which delivers content to users based upon their profile settings and preferences. In a world where digital information is ubiquitous, it is easy for a user to sift through a plethora of web pages before finding content which suits their needs. To mitigate the process of searching for pertinent content on the web, CryptoQuery aims to search the web and filter web pages only retaining those that are best suited to the user based upon their profile settings. The mechanics to achieve delivery of pertinent content to a user based on they’re profile settings is accomplished via machine learning and information filtering.

CryptoQuery’s intended target audience includes those who are interested in digital currencies and more specifically cryptocurrencies. CryptoQuery offers high quality and up-to-date information which can aid users when making decisions within a digital currency ecosystem. For example, a user interested in buying bitcoin can sign up and create an account on the CryptoQuery website and retrieve the latest and most popular news articles whose topic revolve around bitcoin.
