WP Text Ads Blog

If you’re a WordPress user, you no doubt have used the excellent Related Entries plugin before.

One thing about that plugin and its variants is that it only shows related posts from the same blog. While these posts may increase readership for the blogs, it would be much better if readers could read related posts and articles from other sites. That would expand the minds of readers by allowing them to gain insights from others who are writing about similar topics.

Today, I released a new web service called RelatedToThis. It fills the gap that I just mentioned above.

RelatedToThis is unique in a way that it is presented as a data feed, encoded in JSON format. I envision that developers will take the data feed and write plugins or widgets around it. It isn’t WordPress or platform-specific, since it’s just text.

It is also an invite-only service. The reason for this is to ensure the quality of sites joining RelatedToThis. If you’d like to join RelatedToThis, you can find a list of people with invitations to give out here.

I hope this service will fill a niche that benefits everyone..
