High Gear Media’s reach keeps on expanding… into the far reaches.

And that now includes Google Currents, Google’s new magazine-like app for smartphones. Similar in nature to Flipboard, Currents is a riff on social readers. Available on both Android and iOS devices, Google Currents displays stories and updates from RSS feeds, Google+ streams, photos, videos, and other forms of media, creating a visually rich experience.

To add High Gear Media brands to Google Currents, just hop onto a mobile browser and click here to add The Car Connection, here to add Motor Authority, and here to add Green Car Reports.

High Gear Media Stories Now Appear On washingtonpost.com

01.11.2012 | By eric

We’re really excited to share a little news, about, well, the news.  Today we’re announcing a partnership with our friends at The Washington Post.  Select High Gear Media stories will be syndicated to their site, added to the Business and Cars sections and occasionally appear in print versions of The Post.

This is great for our sites The Car Connection, Motor Authority and Green Car Reports — each of which will be contributing.  It goes without saying that The Washington Post represents journalistic excellence.  Syndicating some of the best work from our sites speaks to the quality of content our hard working team creates — automotive content that is credible and engaging.  We’re the first automotive content company to work with The Post like this.

Second, High Gear Media articles appearing in The Post puts our content in front of potentially millions of more readers. The Post, in turn, gains access to our breaking news, first drives and more.    Here are a couple of examples of this syndication in action.

Given that automotive news is also often business news, we’re especially proud to  join The Post’s  business news section, which features The Post‘s original reporting and columns. We’re joining  other great outside content sources like Bloomberg, VentureBeat, and The Verge.

The Washington Post is the latest to join High Gear Media’s list of syndication deals, which already includes arrangements with Yahoo!, VentureBeat, Fox News and Business Insider, among others.

Stay tuned, we’re just getting warmed up.
