Another company for you check out – Daylife: backed by Balderton Capital and Arts Alliance, UK clients include Guardian and SkyNews. They have been building out a powerful API for some time – already in use with major publishers. http://corp.daylife.com/select/

One API, thousands of the best sources. Curate as much fresh content as you want from an endless array of topics, images, articles, videos, and more from thousands of the web’s best sites.

So you (the publisher) can can create whole new pages, sections, and sites of fresh, relevant content to *complement* your existing editorial.
Vast depth on any topic with minimal editorial overhead.

I’ll keep you posted…

Best,
Tim
