Introducing Splice, our new contextual discovery product

At Cascaad, we continuously focus on making social media content consumption a enjoyable experience. One important aspect of this experience is enriching content generated on Twitter, Facebook and other social networks to give more content and context to a post or tweet shared by your friends and connections.

To continue on our mission, today Cascaad launches its new product ‘Splice’ in Private Beta!

Splice is a browser add-on that uses semantic technology to automatically extract the relevant entities in your feeds on Facebook, Twitter and other social sites, and overlay useful contextual information so you don’t have to hunt for it. Once the entities are automatically identified in the text, Splice enriches the user experience by providing additional information on that entity, organized in different tabs, depending on the category that the entity belongs to.

Splice’s sophisticated technology permits to identify automatically millions of entities belonging to categories such as people, businesses, songs, products, video games, books, movies and much more. Once the entity is identified, Splice organizes pertinent content into tabs. This content can include the latest news on the topic, relevant tweets being shared in real-time, YouTube videos or even the lyrics of a specific song. Not only a user can learn more about any of these entities without leaving its favorite social network, but s/he can also use Splice to download the song just discovered, purchase a book from an e-commerce site or even reserve a couple of tickets for the closest rock concert of his/her favorite band.

With Splice, discovering new relevant content while surfing the web just gets simpler and more effective!
