Marchex Announces Launch of Open View Technology for Distribution Across OpenList.com and Selected Marchex Web Sites
Open View, a new feature of the Open List search platform, represents Marchex's technology driven approach to generating useful and unique content on thousands of Web pages. For example, in addition to generating content related to more than 65,000 hotels, Open View has added approximately 400,000 new, unique pieces of dynamically generated editorial content that map to each restaurant in the Open List database. The purposes of Open View are to: (i) provide a useful, high-level summary of an entity based on feedback primarily from user-generated and expert third-party reviews; (ii) increase Web site usage by creating a useful and relevant consumer experience; and (iii) ultimately increase monetization opportunities associated with each Web site.
Open View functionality is now available at www.openlist.com and selected Marchex Web sites that include hotel and/or restaurant information, such as: www.delis.com, www.newyorkdining.com, and www.frenchrestaurants.com. While Marchex's Open Views currently cover restaurants and hotels, it plans to expand this technology to cover additional commercial categories over time.
As Marchex launches Open List content on tens of thousands of additional Web sites in 2007, as announced earlier this week, this new Open View technology will be part of that broader rollout.
"A key goal of Open List is to drive high quality content in an automated fashion to both the Marchex network of Web sites and to Openlist.com," said Matthew Berk, Marchex Lead Search Architect. "The Open View technology is an example of the power of the Open List platform to aggregate and make sense of a wide variety of local content, ultimately helping consumers make better decisions."
