A group of individuals who are striving to provide context to what people are expressing, thinking, sharing, and conversing about across the social media. From blogging to popular rating and sharing services to review sites.

Artiklz entire business value proposition is built on the supposition that conversations on the social media contain valuable insight and perspective that properly harnessed translates into actionable information.

Artiklz offers several solutions and services to our users. First, we provide conversational search access by aggregating millions of conversations; organizing these conversations into structured content that can be analyzed, interpreted, and acted upon. Second, Artiklz offers utilities to enable 360degree view for bloggers and website owners of their comments and conversation streams; providing the only 2-way gateway to comments. And Lastly, Artiklz provides tools to help users track, monitor, and engage in conversation with blogs utilizing Artiklz¢s widgets or plug-ins.

Artiklz aggregates the various popular web sharing/rating sites (Digg, Reddit, Yahoo! Buzz, FriendFeed, Mixx, coRank, Diigo, et al) in addition to the major blogging and commenting systems for comments related to the blogger's article posting and brings them right back into a singular widget. In addition, Artiklz enables search against these conversational streams.

The benefits to the blogger or website owner is clear: (1) the blogger/website retains the continuity of the downstream comments that are generated off of the blogger's/website’s IP (content), and (2) other readers of the blog/website get to see what and where else other commenter/comments are coming from without ever having to leave the blog or website.

Artiklz also enables users to create a central registry on its platform so that the user can go to any blog or website and (a) follow the blog or author(s) of the blog/website and its respective comments on the web, (b) continue to monitor a specific posting of comments and ensuing reply threads to keep the conversation of comments alive, and (c) follow their favorite commenter on the web.

We are not a destination site.  So, we are not looking to compete with any blogging platforms or commenting systems.  In fact, we look forward to working with everyone.  This is also why we made our platform opensource.

We are looking to simplify and defragment blogging and the valuable data from comments.  We also believe that the blog owners should be allowed and have access to the comments made on their blog.

We also provide our widgets to websites.

Comments come from Digg, Reddit, Mixx, Friendfeed and other popular content, discovery and sharing systems.

Absolutely not, we value and protect your privacy and information here at Artiklz.

Yes, we do.  We believe in keeping everything out in the open for everyone.
