0:25 What is Boxxet?
Boxxet brings together the "best of" news, blogs, videos, photos, gear and much more on people's favorite subjects. Boxxet's unique combination of computer automation and community passion produces the most diverse and complete best-of compilations on the Web's most popular and interesting subjects.
1:05 Why Did We Build Boxxet?
Today's web users are richer than ever, but we also find that they also struggle to navigate these riches. Search queries come back with too many results. There are too many blogs to read. Rants are layered upon opinions layered upon analysis layered upon a rumor. There are amazing photos, videos and audio of events from unlikely places. There are unexpected gems hidden everywhere.So we asked, how can we help get them that information: the news, blogs, photos, etc? How to connect to the story, to the photo, to the creator and to their fellow fans?
2:21 How Does Boxxet Work?
2:27 Find and Filter Great Content. Our web crawlers find the best content for each of our Boxxets (or subjects).
2:52 Users can rate and use the content. The machine learns from the user ratings and interaction.
3:35 Each Boxxet is different. Our machine searches and ranks content within each Boxxet. The best content and sources for Lost (TV show) is, of course, different from the best content and sources for the New York Yankees.
4:08 What Makes Boxxet Unique?
How are different from the other web sites and services out there?
4:20 Focus on subject matters. People define themselves by and are interested in subjects. "I am a fan of the Giants, watch Lost and 24, went to school at Yale and UC Berkeley and follow a few celebrities." We believe that is how people want to see their content as well.
4:47 Use of a "Bionic" System. With the vast increase in social applications and no increase in people's time, Boxxet is designed to find the best content without an overdependence on community participation. We take a "bionic" approach whereby our machines learn from the precious input we do get and use that to filter, sort and rank new information.
5:24 Diverse Set of Content. Many sites focus on one kind of content: news, photos, blogs. The Boxxet for any subject will contain all kinds of terrific content.
5:53 Who is Behind Boxxet?
The co-founders are You Mon Tsang and Dan Gartung. We are also backed by Ascend Ventures.
