Abstract

New technology can reduce a developer's work. Yet, given how fast technology changes, it is close to impossible for a developer to stay aware of technological advances that might ease his work. In this paper, we propose an approach that increases the likelihood of a developer becoming aware of technology that might help him. Our approach uses a developer's interaction with the development environment to characterize a profile of the developer's use. This profile can then be used to find relevant posts on social news web sites. We use the votes on the social web sites as a means to filter and rank relevant information for the developer.
