Moreover Technologies (generally known as "Moreover") is a provider of business intelligence and news aggregation products for enterprises, also offering free news feeds for consumers. Moreover was founded in 1998 by Nick Denton, David Galbraith, and Angus Bankes[1], receiving funding from Advance Publications, Atlas Venture, Reuters Venture Capital and Dawntreader Ventures[2], with offices in both London and San Francisco.

Moreover became involved with developing the standards for Real Simple Syndication (RSS) 1.0 in 2000[3] and was later acquired by VeriSign in 2005 for $30m[4]. As part of VeriSign the Moreover business unit was renamed as Real-Time Publisher Services being paired with Weblogs.com to create a platform for publishers and bloggers to track and distribute content. In May 2009 Moreover was sold to a private investor group led by Paul Farrell[5], the sale included Weblogs.com with the ping server becoming wholly owned and run by Moreover.

Moreover currently powers the Ask.com News Search[6] and BBC Newstracker[7], having global headquarters in Reston, Virginia and further offices in Dayton, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and London.

He turned to his old schoolfriend Dave Galbraith who, though now trained as an architect, had been writing software for years. Together with another mutual schoolfriend, Angus Bankes, they would come up with the software to support Moreover.com."
