Don’t write off this “check into TV” startup, the tech is too cool. Surfer gratuitement sur son mobile, il y a une application pour ça ! Former MySpace execs launch Gravity to personalize the Web. A team of former MySpace executives is launching a new company on-stage at the Web 2.0 Summit today in San Francisco. Chief executive Amit Kapur said he left MySpace, the troubled News Corp. Internet portal, because his new company Gravity presents an even bigger opportunity: Basically, it uses your interests to help you find relevant content. That sounds similar to promises I’ve heard from many other companies, for example the content-sharing service Twine (which was acquired by Evri) and personalized news-reader MeeHive (which was shut down by parent company Kosmix). But Kapur said previous attempts have just “nibbled at the edges” of the bigger problem.
Gravity is part of the latest wave of companies trying to manage the ever-growing flood of content on the Web, he said. Specifically, Gravity has built out a language model (it currently contains 100 million phrases, Kapur said) showing how different interests fit together.
