European Twingly Launches Google Blog Search Competitor

STOCKHOLM, Apr. 2 -- Twingly launches a new spam free blog search service today at www.twingly.com.

The European Internet start-up Twingly announced today that it is launching its spam free blog search service.

“We will have worldwide coverage but are concentrating on being number one on European blog search, both by controlling spam and working with all different languages. This is something that traditional blog search services, like Google blog search, don’t work so well”, said Martin Källström, CEO at Twingly.

Twingly uses an innovative anti spam algorithm to be able to only include genuine blog posts and filter out the spam. Spam blogs are now considered to stand for the majority of the blog posts worldwide.

“We want to help people find the good in blogs”, said Martin Källström. “Reducing spam makes the world of blogs more accessible for the readers. Our goal is to facilitate for both bloggers and readers to connect and interact.”

To maximize visibility for contributing blogs, Twingly are collaborating with 45 large newspapers around Europe, like Público in Portugal, Dagens Nyheter in Sweden, Politiken in Denmark, Der Telegraaf in The Nederlands, La Vanguardia in Spain and Die Welt in Germany.

The service is launched at www.twingly.com in a closed beta version where users can apply for an invitation.
