STOCKHOLM, April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Twingly launches a new spam free social blog search engine today at
http://www.twingly.com.
The European Internet start-up Twingly announced today that it is
launching its spam free blog search engine.
"We will have worldwide coverage but are concentrating on being number
one in European blog search, both by controlling spam and working with all
different languages", said Martin Källström, CEO at Twingly.
Until now the market for specialized blog search engines has been
dominated by US companies like Google, even though blogging is very big in
Europe where these services not always work very well. Now Europe gets its
own blog search.
Twingly uses an innovative anti spam algorithm to be able to only include
genuine blog posts and filter out the spam. Spam blogs are now considered to
stand for the majority of the blog posts worldwide.
"We want to help people find the good in blogs", said Martin Källström.
"Eliminating spam makes the world of blogs more accessible for the readers.
Our goal is to facilitate for both bloggers and readers to connect and
interact."
Twingly also provides so-called social search, where actions of
individual users improve the search results of others.
"Social search enables blog readers to share quality content with the
rest of the community", said Martin Källström.
To ensure visibility for contributing blogs, Twingly delivers a related
blogs service to 45 large newspapers and websites around Europe, like Público
in Portugal, Dagens Nyheter in Sweden, Politiken in Denmark, De Telegraaf in
The Netherlands and La Vanguardia in Spain. Twingly blog search is launched
at http://www.twingly.com in a closed beta version where users can apply for
an invitation.
