NEWS FEATURES
If you're tired of watching video after video online, only to realize halfway through that it is not what you were looking for, then an Israeli company called Taboola may be just what you've been looking for. After three years in development, including one year of limited release with selected partners, Taboola announced on November 18 the official launch of its ViDiscovery, Taboola Analytics, and DiscoverAd offerings--as well as $4.5 million in second round funding, led by Evergreen Venture Partners.
Monday, November 17, marked the announcement of the availability of Clickability's Media Solution. The product provides a centrally managed SaaS content repository that enables large media companies to share digital content across their organization and publish it to multiple devices and web channels. Its feature set includes tagging and annotating, and asset-linking across channels and publications. The Clickability platform also allows for the sharing of content among separate customers, creating a mutually beneficial content-publishing ecosystem.
In German, the word "entdecken" means "to discover." In Cambridge, MA, a company whose focus is on enterprise information access software is known as Endeca, a fitting ode to this German term. Founded in 1999, Endeca has relied on its core values ever since: to aid information-based problem solving across a variety of business processes. On November 10, Endeca extended this ideal to embrace more types of content, with the release of its Digital Asset Navigator (DAN) solution, a search and information access solution designed for media companies, content publishers, advertising agencies, and marketing departments.
On October 29, Open Text Corp. launched its new web content management solutions designed to help customers integrate, manage, and optimize their content in Web 2.0 initiatives in a safe and controlled environment.

A settlement was reached on October 28 in the class-action lawsuit brought in 2005 by the Authors Guild and Association of American Publishers against Google, and both sides seem to be pleased with the outcome. The Authors Guild and Association of American Publishers will help distribute a $45 million class-action payout to authors and publishers whose copyrights were infringed when their works were uploaded without permission by the digital Google Books project. Google, in turn, will spend $34.5 million to build a subscription-based system allowing users to preview, search, and ultimately purchase access to in-copyright, out-of-print titles through Google Books.
