  • Found this post through my Filtrbox (another TechStars 2007 company, as is Socialthing!) "filtr" today. I've spent a lot of time w/the Socialthing! team, so anything I say here is tainted by that fact. Anyway, I'm with you that one of the amazing things about tracking startups is the speed with which they take new information, figure out a way to incorporate new services (in the Socialthing! case, they announced this month at the Boulder/Denver New Tech Meetup they'll be partnering w/Gnip, a whole 'nother kickass story) and keep moving, full steam ahead. I'll check out the other startups mentioned here to see what they're up to. Seems as though "aggregation" is going to be the buzzword for many months to come.

    As a side note, I really dig the design/layout of the site. Well done.
  • I've logged in to Filtrbox a couple of times, I really need to re-visit it and tweak some of its search parameters. Right now I'm getting an email from it approx. every 4 to 5 days.

    I love Gnip, I missed the part where they said SocialThing was running with it, so that is very cool!

    Thanks for the kudos.. this is actually a standard Blog Oh Blog theme called Silver Light, but I've modified it pretty heavily. I like it but I'm always scouting around for something better. Or, cutting my CSS teeth making an original theme.
  • Phil - I should check out Socialthing. Invite please?
  • ok, sure. Give me a sec to get that sent out.
