SEATTLE, WA and SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Sep 7, 2011) - Evri, the leading innovator in topic-based content discovery, today announced the launch of SportStream, a robust suite of sports applications for iPhone and Android devices, powered by the Evri platform.

SportStream Football provides an immersive information experience for fans with real-time news from thousands of content sources. The application integrates the best and latest football information with each fan's social feeds, allowing users to live tweet game highlights as they happen.

"Our SportStream apps offer sports fanatics a convenient, easy way to further engage with the teams, players and games they love, while connecting users' interests with like-minded people in their social graph."
The SportStream suite provides the most comprehensive and interactive experience of any mobile sports apps on the market. SportStream allows users to comment on each action-packed moment with new capabilities that allow fans to tweet out game highlights and updates, as they happen, to followers and friends.
