Amazons Silk Browser Now Tracking User Behavior For New Trending Now SectionWait, What?

silk-logoOh did you hear? Amazon announced a bunch of new Kindles yesterday. And here's another little tidbit - those devices, the Kindle Fire and Fire HD, are also getting an updated version of the Amazon Silk browser. The "cloud accelerated" mobile browser has received a handful of its own improvements, says Amazon, including faster page load speeds, better HTML5 support, an improved Start page, and more. But one of the more interesting features is a new section which Silk calls "Trending Now." This section identifies which webpages are seeing an unusual amount of traffic, indicating that they may contain some noteworthy information. That's right - Amazon Kindle's web browser is now watching for breaking news based on Kindle Fire user behavior.
