We've just made the big step of opening up our Beta test program to the public. Sign up now — no more waiting lists for invitations!

Behind the scenes, there have been some important steps over the summer towards making our service more scalable to support our public Beta program. We've now indexed well over 20 million stories about more than 100,000 different people and companies.

Frankly, Noteworthy News is still an expensive service to run, since we invest so much computer power to disambiguate articles. On average, we have stored about half a gigabyte of information per user and crawl the Web continuously to increase our corpus with new search results.

Of course, all of those engineering challenges will get faster, better, and cheaper over time, but investing further in scalability for its own sake would mock our main goal as a startup: finding our product/market fit. Every new user brings us more insights, and we appreciate all of your feedback.

Some of our most enthusiastic users rely on “News About Your Network” to keep in touch with their extensive network of past colleagues and customers to find new leads, new projects, and new ideas. Give our service a try and see what better intelligence about the people in your professional life can do for you... and be sure to let us know how!
