Take Back the Web, now with added Cred!

For those of you who’ve been on the sidelines about this whole MashLogic thing, wondering if we’d ever be cool enough to have some Cred, your patience is now rewarded.

In a move that is certain to reverberate through the corridors of the Blogosphere and echo in the hallways of the Twitterverse, we’ve teamed with NewsCred to bring you not just news, but Breaking News with Cred right at your fingertips from every web page.

Oh yeah, we’re not kidding around any more.

NewsCred keeps you informed by aggregating timely, curated news headlines filtered by the credibility of the source. You benefit from their semantic intelligence and crowd-sourcing to receive targeted news from authoritative sources.

MashLogic’s popular addon (Firefox and IE) enhances web pages with relevant links that display personalized, contextual information. Browse the web seamlessly with links where you need them, enriching your browsing and saving you needless trips to a search engine.

We have integrated with NewsCred through their upcoming API. MashLogic now automatically add links to newsworthy topics on any web page, and you can roll over these links to find images, credible headlines, and related topics. And of course once you read these articles, you can effortlessly tweet about them.

Tweet Back the Web!

We’ve just released our 1.0 product, with Twitter integration, an IE7 version, and a more polished UI. Here’s some coverage.

The press release is attached, so here’s a summary.

  • We now automatically add links to trending Twitter topics and Twitter profiles (@names) on web pages. You can explore these topics or user profiles and Tweet without leaving the page you’re reading. We call this Real-Time Discovery.
  • In response to demand from users and partners, we’re also pleased to announce MashLogic for IE7, bringing our innovative personalization technology to the world’s most popular web browser.
  • The UI has been updated to a more laid-back and readable style. One key new feature is that you can now run your own searches within the callouts. All the less reason to visit a search engine.
