Evri, a company that makes a real-time content discovery engine, announced yesterday at GigaOm’s Mobilize conference in San Francisco the immediate release of five new vertical content discovery applications on iPhone and Android.
The apps are essentially rich, multimedia content streams that offer up real-time news on specific topics, as well as corresponding videos, photos, articles, tweets, scores and stats that can be shared with various social communities directly from the apps.
“It’s unfortunate that consumers have resigned themselves to a ‘good enough’ content discovery experience on the Web,'” said Evri CEO Will Hunsinger, in a statement. “EvriThings are our first step in eliminating the need for tedious searching, instead enabling content to intuitively find us wherever we are.”
The EvriThing suite currently includes EvriThing Tech, EvriThing Gossip, EvriThing Pro Football, EvriThing Rock and EvriThing Baseball, each of which contain sub-categories of content streams.
The interface includes a variety of different “views,” including a video view, which accesses content from sources across the Web, a photo view, a Twitter view and an EvriThing view, which delivers all of the content at once in a multimedia stream.
The applications are available free today from the Android Market and will be available shortly on the iTunes App Store. Evri plans to ship additional applications in new topic areas on a regular basis.
Evri isn’t the first company to jump into the space. The Evri suite follows in the footsteps of recently launched apps like Blancspot, Pulse and Flipboard, which present multiple sources of content in a one place, while adding a new format and aesthetic to the presentation.
