Introducing Tweetle! - The New Related Tweets Widget

We just released a new widget that searches the the Twitterverse for related tweets. Tweetle! is powered by the same intelligent technology behind the related content widget. This time, the widget contextually analyzes the page and searches the Twitterverse to show who's tweeting about your topic! We're giving Searchles users exclusive access to be the first to test it out. Go here to grab the code and use it on your blog:

New Customization Options for Searchles Widgets Based on Blogger Feedback!

We've just deployed new parameters for the Searchles Related Content widget - you can now adjust the font, style, link-spacing and header text (if "Related Content" isn't your style) in our widget-configurater (see screenshot below). We've also removed the 'Options' bar which should result in a higher CTR for your widget. Definite thanks to those of you who have provided us with this valuable feedback to make these updates - keep it coming!! If you're interested in using the Related Content widget for your site or blog - which is designed to increase pageviews by linking to related posts from Your archive under or next to each story on your blog - then by all means, sign up here!

Searchles Launches Conversation-Tracking Tag Cloud on Washingtonpost.com

The Buzz Map tag cloud placed on Washingtonpost.com's Live Discussion pages is a quick snapshot into the most buzzed about topics within the national news site's comment sections, forum posts and live discussions. This dynamic social tag cloud is designed to increase user interaction as readers can now navigate through and engage in the active online conversations by topic. The rich social layer of content - or the on-site "micro-blogging", if you will - generated by the Washingtonpost.com reader-community is now surfaced through this trending tag cloud and conversational topic-search powered by Searchles!


The tags link through to a corresponding search results page that aggregates the most recent site-wide user comments, discussion group posts or live discussion feeds where users can also quickly jump to the source content that sparked the conversation or the user profile behind an interesting comment.

This new social feature for Washingtonpost.com is powered by Searchles Discovery technology which crawls and analyzes both published and user-generated site content to establish connections between related users within the community, related online conversations to a particular topic or related content recommendations to an article - to cite a few examples. Searchles Discovery currently offers both tailored social solutions for large media and a free contextual Related Content widget for publishers of any size from the Open Widget Platform. If you think Searchles Discovery would offer a valuable solution for your site - check out the info page or contact us!

Recent Site Accessibility and Maintenance - Widgets Not Affected!

Hey guys, just an FYI - the access issues with the Searchles.com portal have NOT affected any Searchles Discovery widget delivery for sites that have our related content widget installed. Everything is still running smoothly there. That being said, we'd like to apologize for the issues accessing the site you may have had over the past couple of days. We were experiencing a few growing pains as we adjusted to the traffic increases. Things should be back up to full speed very shortly! We're also performing some server maintenance to ensure that these issues won't occur again going forward. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience!
