In its focus on discovery of unexpected articles and news sources, Evri has some similarities to StumbleUpon, though that company does not focus on news but discovery of websites and web content generally.
In contrast to other services such as Flipboard, Zite, AOL Editions and Pulse, which either focus on pulling news from social recommendations or from RSS or Twitter feeds, Evri aims to provide discovery of new articles on topics that people are interested in.
