History
[edit | edit source]Moreover became involved with developing the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) 1.0 standard in 2000[4] and was later acquired by VeriSign in 2005 for $30m.[5] As part of VeriSign the Moreover business unit was renamed as Real-Time Publisher Services being paired with Weblogs.com to create a platform for publishers and bloggers to track and distribute content. In May 2009, Moreover was sold to a private investor group led by Paul Farrell.[6] The sale included Weblogs.com with the ping server becoming wholly owned and run by Moreover.
Current history
[edit | edit source]Moreover currently powers the Ask.com News Search[7] and BBC Newstracker,[8] having global headquarters in Reston, Virginia and further offices in Dayton, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and London; furthermore, in October 2014, Moreover was acquired by LexisNexis.[3] LexisNexis has since integrated Moreover's flagship product, Newsdesk, into their portfolio of media intelligence solutions.
