PeopleBrowsr, the social networking aggregator devised by former One.Tel founder Jodee Rich will be unveiled tomorrow.
The project which has been in development for over 18 months and described as a “deep visual dashboard” allows multiple online identities and aggregates information from
sources such as Twitter, Facebook, You Tube and Flickr.
The platform¹s beta pre launch has already attracted strong international attention with invited beta users describing it as “a game changer for online interaction. this will cannibalize tweet deck et al,” “allows you to create groups and tweet only to certain people. this is going to rock and maybe replace email”; “picking my jaw up off the floor: PeopleBrowsr is going to revolutionize the social media space! I want it now!.”
Rich privately funded his social networking endeavour with the assistance of family, close friends and some former One.Tel business associates. The venture is being heavily pitched to the US market wit Rich flitting between San Francisco and Sydney and employing a team of developers globally. Devising PeopleBrowsr in October 2006 Rich based the concept as a Twitter based social media information aggregation tool allowing users to create their own walled garden that displays content from user¹s friends, their postings, status updates and blog posts while also allowing interaction outside of the users garden that includes streaming RSS feeds, widgets and feeds from random users.
“We want it to become a window on the passing parade of everything happening on the Internet, public YouTube videos, Tumblr posts, Flickr photos and so
on. It will be as if the user was sitting in a café and watching the world
pass by,” Rich writes on the PeopleBrowsr blog.
