A Year in Review: Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going

Life at Pocket is exciting and fast-paced. There are always new features to be built, partnerships to be explored, designs to be honed and polished – the list could go on and on. The beginning of a new year, however, offers ample opportunity to sit down and reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re going next. As we head into February, we thought we’d highlight a few of the things that made 2015 memorable, and set the tone for what’s to come.

2015 was momentous for Pocket in many ways. We added 12 incredibly talented people to our team and expanded Pocket’s reach by being directly integrated into the Firefox browser.

We also launched the Pocket Beta Channel, where we began to share early and experimental versions of Pocket’s new Recommended feed, including personalized recommendations (launched in August), and social recommendations (launched in December).

In 2016, we’ll be building on this foundation to make Pocket a unique place where you can not only capture, read, and watch the things you care about most, but easily discover and recommend them as well. Pocket will become your home for the best, most interesting stories the Web has to offer.

To cap things off, here are some numbers and highlights (c’mon, who doesn’t love data) from the past year. These are the topics we explored, the articles and videos we loved, and the stories we’re now just beginning to recommend.
