Mediander™ Focuses On Connections In New "Knowledge Engine" Concept
Massive content site launches at BookExpo America, bringing together the most relevant elements of YouTube®, Wikipedia® and other content sources in a single interface
NEW YORK, May 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mediander.com launches at BookExpo America® (BEA) as one of the largest content sites on the internet, with a unique "knowledge engine" that powers the discovery and exploration of millions of topics. Mediander offers a new experience to knowledge seekers by integrating content from YouTube®, Wikipedia® and other sources within its easy-to-use Connects interface, a new kind of encyclopedia that moves beyond merely providing information. By focusing on the connections between topics, Mediander puts a new, associative spin on the familiar process of online information discovery. The site entices curiosity, enhances understanding and empowers learning.
"The idea for Mediander came to me as a solution to information overload on the internet," said Mike Fine, founder and CEO of Mediander. "People spend more time wading through lots of unwanted information and links than they do learning about their topics of interest. We designed algorithms that mine a vast amount of content for the information most relevant to our users, based on our core principle of connectivity. We present what we find in a single, engaging, focused visual interface. We anticipate Mediander becoming a household name and a site people return to on a daily basis."
Mediander contains three unique integrated offerings and a blog:
| Mediander Connects™ |
Shows how any topic is related to scores of other topics, which in turn can be explored individually. |
| Mediander BookShop™ |
Offers an intuitive new connection-driven way to discover, browse and buy books. |
| Mediander CultureMap® |
Showcases our original content about cultural subjects in a unique interactive presentation of topics and the connections between them. |
| Mediander Blog™ |
Invites users into the Mediander universe with a mix of original, mostly pop-culture content that links back to the rest of the site. |
Mr. Fine is a lifelong entrepreneur with more than 40 years of experience launching and growing media companies. Mediander is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fine Creative Media, Inc., a company Mr. Fine founded in 1991 that has published more than 1,000 titles under the highly successful MJF Books and Barnes & Noble Classics imprints.
At BEA Mediander will reveal new user interface designs for computers and tablets, and at the end of June will do the same for mobile. For more information on Mediander, please visit Mediander.com.
