From the How it Works (via Topicly Web Site):
Topicly is powered by proprietary technology to give readers timely news that is in the journalistic sights of Post editors. All Post journalism — stories, blog posts, photos, videos — is being processed in 15-minute snapshots, and story topics are being determined in real-time based on the content. The more content that is published around a topic, the higher the topic will appear in the display. Topicly presents a rolling 72 hour display of the most-published content.
