SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 05/16/12 — Powered by the Whit.li API, TechCrunch will provide a new way for Disrupt NYC attendees to meet one another and network during this year-s event. The new service — TechRecs, will examine each conference attendee-s personality traits, demographics and rare interests, and provide relevant recommendations on who they should meet during the event.
“The Whit.li API is a clear leader in determining relevance for individuals and brands,” said Ned Desmond, COO at TechCrunch. “We-re excited that we-ll be providing an easy way for Disrupt attendees to ensure they get a chance to meet others who share their relevant interests and have compatible personality types.”
With the capability to efficiently compare personality traits, rare interests, life-stage and demographics, the Whit.li API provides organizations a perfect way to measure relevance between brands, individuals and messaging.
Since public launch at SxSW earlier this year, more than 110 applications covering a broad spectrum of market segments have been registered to use the Whit.li API:
Digital Media & Publishing companies providing recommendations
Brands looking for new ways to engage with their communities
Ecommerce companies providing relevant out-of-graph recommendations
