About Us

Our company, WebUltra, was created to solve an important problem facing millions of users on the web today – navigating to find the best content on the web and across numerous websites is far too cumbersome and time-consuming. Our vision is simple (although technically challenging) -- to let users easily "follow" their favorite topics and receive the best, most-up-to-date news and video from around the web whenever and wherever they want it. Our solution is part DVR, part search engine, and like a great guide, combines superior intelligence from human subject-matter experts AND like-interested users. Our ultimate goal is to ensure our users always receive the very best, most relevant content in the fewest clicks possible. We intend to provide solutions across a variety of content categories and recently beta launched our first site, SportsUltra.com, targeting the sports vertical in October 2008.

SportsUltra.com helps sports fans (you) easily follow your favorite teams, players and sportswriters by providing the latest news and best video from around the web in a single location.
