I've been chatting with a lot of folks about our new Email Digest feature lately and a topic that often comes up is the difference between an Email Digest and a Roundup.
My take on this is that the Email Digest is something automatic that brings in the best posts from categories that a particular user follows and cares about in an automated (aka scalable way). A human created roundup on the other hand I think of as a place that community managers can bring content together based on more subjective variables like:
- a common theme
- posts that didn't get traction initially and didn't make it into digest but have value
