Twingly gives a first description of their new tool, Twingly Channels:
A Twingly Channel acts as a social filter on top of feeds and realtime search, allowing you to set up a social memetracker for any topic or event. The underlying idea is that by aggregating feeds and realtime search results into a channel where many people sharing the same interest can discuss and vote on the content (while also providing a filter to solve the prevalent problem of information overflow) we lower the learning curve to the realtime web.
The reason I find this exciting is that the paragraph above describes with 100 percent accuracy what I have been looking for for a long time. It’s impossible to determine from the screenshots if this is it, but they definitely raise expectations. So thinks TechCrunch.
Hi! We’re very happy that you think it’s what you’ve been looking for! =) Information overload is exactly the problem we’re trying to solve.
There are some more screenshots in our own blog post at blog.twingly.com, too, btw.
Do you want me to send you an invite 1st of october?
