My EX Feed section is the place where you can go to find the most recent and trending activity across the entire BecomeAnEX Community. It’s similar to Facebook and Twitter, in that you will see content from people or Groups you follow here on EX.
From this page, you can see Top & Trending content, Unanswered Questions, Latest Blog Posts, Upcoming Events, and Groups You Might Be Interested In.
About Streams

Narrowing it Down: The + Sign
By selecting the “+” sign to the right of “Following,” you can also create your own custom stream of news for yourself. Custom streams are useful when there is so much activity happening that you can’t follow it all. It’s a way to help you focus on what matters to you.
Top & Trending
Top & Trending content shows what’s considered to be the most popular (and thereby useful) content in the Community. Popularity is determined by such things as number of likes, the number of times a content item has been shared, how many comments it has and a variety of other factors. It’s a fast way to learn about the most valuable conversations happening in the community.
