Lingospot Technology: Aggregation
In addition to crawling, indexing and searching your site's content, the Lingospot platform supports a full range of content aggregation capabilities, all managed through the Lingospot console:
- Feeds. Use the Mixer product to create a searchable content channel by combining any number of sources that you are interested in aggregating content from. For example, you may create a searchable blogroll, show content from affiliate or sister properties, or use Mixer to manage content sharing with a blog network.
- Multimedia. Through a variety of third party relationships, Lingospot can aggregate topic-targeted multimedia, including photos and videos from professional sources (such as the Associated Press, Bloomberg, NBC, CBS, Forbes, etc.), as well as user generated photos and video, such as from Flickr and YouTube.
- Products. Whether it's books on Amazon or auction items on eBay, Lingospot can aggregate product information related to a specific topic. This topic-specific merchandise can be purchased by your readers with only a few clicks.
- Social. Lingospot allows your readers to initiate a conversation about a specific topic on the page where you are aggregating content about the topic. This turns every Topic Portal into a micro community, where readers can connect with other readers interested in that topic. In addition, Lingospot can aggregate tweets about a specific topic adding additional user-generated information around the specific topic.
- Other Content. In addition, you can show Wikipedia information, search IMDB (if your topic is entertainment related), access various Q&A services with the most relevant questions about the specific topic, view topic-trend graphs showing historical popularity of a topic, show related topic clouds and much, much more.
