I recently got a question that I thought may be of general interest ….

Q: I’m having more trouble finding things in the newspaper now - why?

A:  Here’s what’s happening: The most recent update that just came out this week (Nov 16 2015) has a new feature for the newspaper that you may have noticed. Now as soon as the newspaper has renewed the mailbox and the newspaper inside it begin to jiggle. It’s very cute.

Before the update, no one knew exactly when the newspaper refreshed and offered new pages, so there was more randomness to ads being discovered. When you opened up a newspaper you may have caught it just as it refreshed or after it had been sitting there a minute or two - there was no way to know.

Now though, EVERYONE knows the minute the newspaper refreshes, so all the people who are watching for a fresh paper are leaping on it all at the same moment.

If you are an avid newspaper watcher or seeking something in particular, this new feature can be great because you can be among those to know the very second the paper is fresh and you can try to run to a great ad before others do. If you are a casual newspaper watcher this new feature will work against you because great finds will have been gobbled up already.
