PARK CITY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--XYDO today announced the launch of XYDO Brief (http://brief.xydo.com), a news-via-email service that delivers personalized and relevant headlines based on a user’s social networks and interactions.
“Since the launch of xydo.com this past spring, we've had great success delivering news emails to our users. Our goal with XYDO Brief was to expand on that success by building a product solely devoted to being the simplest and best way to get your news via email,” said Eric Roach, co-founder and CEO of XYDO. “XYDO Brief scours the web and your social networks to find the best, human-curated news and delivers them right to your inbox, on your schedule.”
XYDO Brief’s underlying system (the same used to power xydo.com) is what makes all this possible. In addition to processing more than 100,000 web content sources including news articles/features, editorials, blogs, videos, photos, and social feeds, every piece of content that enters the system is qualified (scored) based on the recommendations of XYDO’s over 2 million contributors and curators. The end result is a very high signal to noise ratio: each XYDO Brief user receives 10-12 personalized and relevant headlines in every email.
“XYDO Brief is a breath of fresh air amongst a glut of complex and overwrought news apps and services,” said Jesse Stay, author of several books on social media in the For Dummies series. “Their team continues to do a phenomenal job architecting sophisticated systems for collecting, organizing, prioritizing, and personalizing news. However and from a user’s perspective, XYDO Brief is an elegant and useful service that delivers the freshest, most relevant news based on my social networks and interests. I get a quick summary of what I want without having to do all the work.”
XYDO Brief is currently available on an invitation-only basis. To request an invite, visit http://brief.xydo.com and submit your email address. New invitations are being sent out every week.
