Thanks Tom! Max from Lateral here, we made the extension. We're using the Lateral API to recommend news, specifically the news recommender.
The news recommender pulls in content from various news sources RSS feeds and processes them so we can recommend them. So the curation is regarding the sources not the articles. We started collecting articles in November last year, there's actually over 330K now.
You can read a bit more about the news recommender here: https://lateral.io/docs/text-matching/pre-populated-recommen...

Just checked out Lateral and it seems really cool. Just wondering what your monetization plan is. I'd like to use this for a site I develop at work, but wouldn't want you guys to suddenly announce exorbitant fees or shut down due to insufficient funding.
Thanks for the interest!
We have a tiered subscription pricing based on the amount of calls being made and records being stored to recommend from. I’d be very happy to chat in more detail and to send over some additional information. My email is [email protected]

How do you differ yourselves from NewsCron?

While thinking about this as a consumer, I didn't quite get it, as I don't remember wanting article recommendations, let alone news article recommendations or wanting them enough to install an extension to provide such. But once I saw the Buffer integration, I realized that this may work well for content marketers. It was only after that that I noticed the "Follow the story" feature, which is much more useful for consumers.
Here is an explanation of how it works: https://blog.lateral.io/2015/07/newsbot-under-the-hood/
I think the main piece of puzzle is missing - how they are geting IDs of similar documents ?

I am wondering... Is there a Lucene Index underneath?
There are "only" 200.000+ Articles, since when are you crawling?
and are these really "curated", as it states? Are you guys really reading/filtering everything by hand?
Thanks!
