CEO Neil Roseman to Preview Disruptive Approach to Web Content Discovery
CARLSBAD, Calif., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Evri (http://www.evri.com), a
technology company focused on helping users discover and engage with Web
content, will preview its new product at The Wall Street Journal's D
conference on Thursday. Evri's novel product platform creates a content
"data graph" of the people, places and things found on the Web; marking a
major evolution beyond the keyword and text parsing employed by current Web
technologies.
Search engines are great for pointing users to information. Evri helps
users discover related content without searching again. We think Web users
should 'search less and understand more,'" said Neil Roseman, CEO of Evri.
"Evri helps make sense of information by organizing knowledge on the Web
based on its semantic meaning."
Evri's technology automates connections between Web content by applying
a more human-like understanding of the words on the page. "And with our
products, there is a big opportunity to help publishers better engage their
readers and help readers discover compelling content in a new and automated
way," added Roseman.
"I have long believed that semantic data is the key to the next stage
of the Web," said Microsoft Co-Founder, Paul G. Allen, whose investment
firm, Vulcan Capital, provided the founding capital to the company. "Evri
is building the first consumer application positioned to realize this
vision of semantically interconnected information at Web scale. It holds
substantial promise as a platform for future product opportunities in this
arena."
Merrill Brown, founding editor-in-chief and former senior vice
president of MSNBC.com and an advisor to Evri, said, "Evri is addressing
critical challenges that content sites face when it comes to retaining
users who often visit a web page to read a story and then quickly go
elsewhere. Evri's products help publishers increase engagement by
automating the delivery of compelling content and contextual information to
their audiences at the time when they're most likely to leave."
The company will commence its private site access shortly after the
conference as it prepares for a beta launch and publishing partner
syndication later in the year.
