Daylife, Inc is an online news aggregator that has built a news platform on the concepts of the semantic web[2]. It maintains daylife.com as a showcase of its platform, as well as a publicly accessible api[3][4] [5]. Initially known as NewsDB, it centers around the concept of a news browsing engine. A platform that would allow a view into every subject, every country, and every point of view, over all time.

[edit] Technical Specs
The Daylife service provides access to a continually growing index of all the articles and images of many thousands of sources. The sources may be established news outlets, blogs, or other. The whole platform is fully automated and without human intervention. It uses various proprietary algorithms, AI, and NLP to derive all its data and output.
[edit] Web Site Features
The Daylife.com site is divided into latest news, topics, photos, covers, and my world. All aspects of the daylife site and features are searchable. Of note, is its very accurate quote extraction engine.
[edit] Developer API
Daylife's Developer API DayPI, provides programmers with a web accessible interface to Daylife’s news aggregation and analysis service. By using the DayPI, developers can ask rich questions about the news, and retrieve data that will allow them to build applications around the answers to those questions. Both free and paid access is available.
