London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) November 26, 2014 -- Appticles.com, the HTML5 publishing platform, announces a partnership with Zemanta, the builders of content discovery and audience development tools, to enable publishers to reach engaged communities and extend content to new readers.
Only a few months after releasing the 2.0 version of their Wordpress Mobile Pack plugin (http://bit.ly/1xTt8vH), now reaching a total of 650,000 downloads, Appticles includes support for Zemanta’s own content recommendation plugins: Editorial Assistant (http://bit.ly/1vxTIdz) and Related Posts (http://bit.ly/1r06csG).
Ciprian Borodescu, CEO at Appticles explains: “It makes perfect sense to allow bloggers that are using both Wordpress Mobile Pack and Editorial Assistant to increase the visibility of the related content on their mobile web application. Because mobile means more than just screen size, we have to look beyond responsiveness when engaging readers in a meaningful way. A resounding precedent has been crafted a couple of years ago when Financial Times proved the entire publishing industry that it is possible to succeed with their HTML5 app outside an App Store. Today, HTML5 has become a viable technology to be used when packaging various content sources into apps that run smoothly within the browser, hence making the App Store submission a redundant operation.”
“We're happy to have Editorial Assistant and Related Posts supported in WP Mobile Pack. This brings more visibility to our related content recommendations, especially on mobile devices, where we know that readers spend so much time these days.” said Boštjan Špeti, founder and CPO at Zemanta.
The partnership between the two platforms provides bloggers with increased engagement for their mobile readership when it comes to related content recommendation which can be accessed instantly, without scrolling infinitely until reaching the end of an article. This way, readers will have the possibility to browse through more relevant content with ease, leading to a better reading experience which easily translates into returning visits.
