The Washington Post and Evri announce partnership
Friday, February 13th, 2009We’re very pleased to announce that The Washington Post and Evri have entered a partnership to offer our content browsing and discovery functionality on washingtonpost.com articles. The Evri widget will appear on all article pages on the site. (It will only appear on newly published articles, so it won’t be everywhere yet!) Our widget will suggest related articles from The Washington Post and separately from the rest of the web.
The Evri widget makes article recommendations based on Evri’s semantic understanding of how the people places and things in the article being read are connected to other people, places and things being discussed on the web. We think making content smarter this way, and connecting it to other content via what we like to call the Entity Web, is a big deal for the future of content discovery.
As our first major content publishing partner, we’re delighted that The Washington Post has selected Evri for this critical service for their readers. In the coming weeks, we’ll have additional announcements with new partners to share with you.
We’re also very grateful to the many bloggers and websites that have gone to the evri.com site, and launched one of our widgets on their sites. We’re adding new widgets frequently, and they’re very easy to install. In addition to article and topic recommendations our widgets recommend images and videos as well. Please visit the bloggers and partners page at evri.com to check out what we have available now. If you are a developer, please take a look at our API, which allows programmatic access to all of this good stuff.
