TextDigger will use the funding to develop and market its semantic profiling, hosted search and automated tagging solutions in the online publishing and e-commerce sectors, expanding its sales and marketing presence within the U.S.
TextDigger's advanced semantic services increase the findability of web pages, both internally within a site and externally on major search engines. The advanced semantic technology can disambiguate the various meanings of words, and can match queries to web pages where different words are used to describe the same idea. The results are better search results, increased ad inventory, and longer user sessions.
Commenting on the investment round, Tim Musgrove, CEO of TextDigger, stated, "The strong positive reactions to our beta trials last year led to a renewed investor interest in our company. We are proud to have attracted three industry leaders who, between them, possess vast talent across technology marketing, digital media production, and the management of start-ups."
Phil Black of True Ventures commented, "The time has come when every company owning large amounts of Web-based content wants a smarter tool to optimize that content, so that every bit of value in it is delivered to their customers. TextDigger is uniquely qualified to provide such services, and we believe that any site which has its own search can benefit right now from working with TextDigger."
Eghosa Omoigui of Intel Capital commented, "Content publishers are fast realizing that their current methods of connecting web users to timely and relevant information, such as collaborative filtering and community recommendations, may not solve the whole problem. TextDigger has developed software tools to help give consumers a better grasp on web content, the volume of which is dramatically increasing. The company's unique approach has enormous potential in this growing space."
