Ongo is a news curation platform that leverages a team of editors to combine automation with manual curation.
“While content curation platforms are using algorithms to recommend the news, Ongo has a different tactic in mind,” reports Digital Trends. “It uses a team of editors to handpick the latest, need-to-know news for its paid subscribers.”
The article suggests that Ongo is unique in two ways:
“First, it has built its platform based on authoritative sources of news from the New York Times and Reuters. It prides itself on a strict standard of quality for news delivered to Ongo users, while boasting partnerships with the top content providers within each genre of news.”
“Second, Ongo is run using an internal algorithm recommending a selection of 10,000 articles daily for its editors to choose from. The editors will then curate authoritative and must-know news. It’s a daunting number, but with 40 publishing partners representing just over 100 publications, 60 RSS titles curated from the Web, plus 80 more publication deals in the works, this is just the beginning.”
Ongo currently has 20,000 subscribers. Ad-free use is available for a base subscription price of $1.99/month.
