Notey is a Hong Kong-based startup that curates and surfaces long-tail blog content via a topic-led directory and reader experience. The service presents more than 500,000 curated topics and was built by combing through over 20 million blogs to identify roughly 750,000 authoritative sources. Notey offers a web service and an iOS app, and each topic supports email subscriptions for updates. The product emphasizes discovery and curation as an alternative to traditional RSS readers for users who don’t already know what they want to read. The company is not currently generating revenue and says its near-term focus is on user acquisition and improving the experience. Near-term plans include building an Android app, expanding the team to about 10 people, and potentially opening a small presence in San Francisco while keeping costs low with a Hong Kong office.
