Online ad network Federated Media announced the purchase of TextDigger, a start-up with semantic-search technology that FM will use to enhance content tagging, filtering, topic extraction, and search-engine optimization. Price was not disclosed. Tim Musgrove, TextDigger’s founder, will join FM as chief scientist.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Websites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other websites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
