Evri Unleashes An Open Beta, But Falls Short On Results

Evri , a site that uses semantic searching to help users discover more Web content in the shortest amount of time, has added a number of new product features today to mark its open beta. The site now features a content recommendation engine that publishers can add to their sites to let visitors browse Evri's listings and profile pages where Evri will collect all the related content on a particular topic. In addition to videos, Evri also added an image carousel to its results pages, which it collects from across the Web. The idea sounds fine -- Evri wants to collect some of the best news, videos, photos, and important information from news sources, Wikipedia, and Google (to name a few) to create a more informative experience -- but it falls flat on its face on too many levels.
