New RustyBudget Feature: Duplicate Content Detector
As many of you know, we created a *revolutionary* new software product for bloggers and editors named RustyBudget.
Today, Ronnie added a new feature that helps Danny and I stay off each other's toes.
Sometimes Danny will add something to the budget for headlines and then I will add the same story, not seeing that he added it already. Sometimes it happens where I add something and Danny dups me. We are human.
So we added a duplicate content detector. Basically, if you have added a story to the budget in the past and try adding it again with the bookmarklet, it will warn you.
Here is an example of the warning:
I cannot tell you how excited I am about this feature. It not only tells you that you are stepping on someone's toes. It tells you whose toes and also gives you clarity into when it was added in the past.
Note: This only works if the URL matches, we are not matching on story titles. Also, this only works on a budget to budget level, so if I add something to SEL and the same thing to SER, it won't prompt me - which makes sense.
