The Beta is Open
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008We’re pretty excited today, as we are opening the beta and removing the password restriction to the site. We think this is the first step on a long journey in making the web better for browsing and discovering what’s important and meaningful to you. With almost a billion connections between People, Places and Things contained in millions of documents written every day, our widgets and Profile Pages are designed to let you discover more, with less work.
We’re rolling out some new features along with opening the system up to everybody.
- Use the widget on your site! You can now directly add the widget to your TypePad, Blogger or WordPress blog post, or cut-and-paste some script to add it to any blog or web page.
- Try it with your own content: Just paste your text into the submit box on this page, and see what the Evri content recommendation widget comes up with. Try it with a blog post, article, or any text at all. As with the rest of Evri, it will work best with documents about People, Products, and Things of general interest.
- Sharing: Share a favorite profile page, or even a cool grammatical query your built in Evri’s Garden.
- Image Carousel: We have added photos in addition to videos to every Profile Page. We will be continue to enrich the media experience of the site over the next weeks and months.
- Our Garden, where we will feature new stuff that isn’t ready for release, and behind-the-scenes technology that we use at Evri. Right now we have our unique search technology featured there. We will have another blog post with more details, but you can play with it right now.
We are all happy with, and excited by, what we’ve gotten done so far, but I am sure we have a lot more to do, and do better. There’s is a feedback link on every page and we would really like you to use it. Or, send me feedback directly to neil@evri.com.
