Worio News & Articles

In the world of search and discovery, there aren’t many viable examples that give users the information they didn’t know. For every Pandora, Netflix and Amazon, there is a Google and Facebook. But Worio (news, site) has other plans.

Usually the words search and discovery have referred to legal holds and compliance issues. But now, thanks to Worio, those words also refer to good ol’ fashioned Internet searches.

Back in February we profiled Worio as it tried to define itself as a search engine that uses user-driven data as a way to leverage data, suggesting sites and pages that users might not have found through traditional search methods. Using algorithms similar to those that suggest what book we might purchase next or movie we might enjoy watching, Worio is focused on user behaviors.

CMSWire applauds those that take a current solution and put it on its head. Worio, a small search engine, isn't your traditional search engine, in that it all it does is find what you're looking for. While it can do that, Worio also aims to find the things you didn't even know you were looking for.

They call it a discovery-engine and it blends social media with algorithms that use user behavior as data points, rather than end points. For the past six months, they've been working hard to provide you with a broad range of discoveries related to the topics you search for daily on the Web. Today they announced that they have increased their discovery index from less than 10 million Web pages to "a critical mass" of 100 million since opening its public beta last July.
