SocialXperience: Aggregator Of News ‘Straight From The Source’

Paul Glazowski

Curious to know just how many minds are needed to start a Web 2.0 company? Well, if the structure of Social Media, Ltd. is anything to go by, just one’s enough.
Yep, one. Uno. Commandeered by a Mr. Todd Palmer, Social Media Ltd. is a solo effort we think very deserving of a mention here on Profy. Not because it is a one-man show, but more to do with the fact that one website built under the auspices of Social [...]

The Google/FeedBurner Rumor Mill

Cyndy Aleo-Carreira

Everyone's been abuzz about Dave Winer and his take on Google and Feedburner. According to Winer, this may CRIPPLE blogging, people! Google may tie Feedburner to Google Reader and if you don't use Feedburner, your blog may end up NOT WORKING in Google Reader.
There are days I wish I had the power Dave Winer does when it comes to reaction to something I write. Of course, I'd use my powers for good, not evil. In his "update" on the brouhaha [...]

The biggest add is collaboration ability, and [...]

A new feed aggregator service known as Afeeda is out to simplify feed reading by allowing users to create a single feed that combines multiple feeds from different sources. You start out by choosing between making a personal, group or event feed. Personal feeds gather your own created content such as personal blogs and Flickr accounts.

Hictu: A Service Wrapped In Confusion

Paul Glazowski

Ever read or heard the term “micro blogging?” 24 hours ago, I didn’t either. Apparently, it’s what constitutes the goings on over at Twitter and so forth. Which I’m no fan of.
So when a higher-up here at Profy passed along a press release over to my inbox about a product whose creator(s) claim fits that precise mold, I kind of grimaced. I thought, “Why?” Over and over and over again. But after sitting on it for about an hour [...]
