Fwix, a startup focused on the delivery of real-time, local news, just announced an integral update to its API. The Company’s API has been modified to include a heavier focus on hyperlocal news. In aggregating the most relevant news articles and blog posts around a specific location, Fwix gives third party web publishers the opportunity to integrate laser targeted content into their websites. By enhancing its API, it’s evident that the team at Fwix sees the same writing on the wall as we do. Consumers are increasingly searching for news that is most relevant to where they live and work.
The Fwix API has been enhanced to include “nearby” streams of localized content. News stories on Fwix will now display relationships between topics and nearby regions. Users will be able to leverage Fwix to weave stories together based on granular location information. With location-based applications in the vein of Foursquare and Loopt flowing down the pipe, Fwix’s updated API could prove invaluable to such publishers. Integrating Fwix’s hyperlocal news stream into location-based apps would strengthen their utility and relevance amongst users.
