Mixero.com – Muting The Noise On The Social Web

March 8th, 2010

Mixero.com - Muting The Noise On The Social Web  Read more: http://www.killerstartups.com/Social-Networking/mixero-com-muting-the-noise-on-the-social-web#ixzz0hFBperfLToday’s information streams are characterized by an amount of noise that can be more than noticeable sometimes. This startup aims to do something about it and reduce that interference, lowering it all the way to zero whenever that is possible.

The fact remains that people on Twitter (one of the main “live” channels along with the emerging Buzz) do not unfollow others as often as they should, many times out of politeness and not wanting to offend friends. A system like Mixero is the right way to deal with these lists which are oversaturated with followers, and that are brimming with information generated by people we are frankly far from connected with. What Mixero does is to refine both Twitter and Facebook streams as much as possible, and it does so by way of many filters and the option of grouping individuals together to keep them out of the way.

Both a desktop version of Mixero and an iPhone app are already available and procurable through the site. It is interesting to stress that the iPhone version can be synced with the desktop app for ease of use.

March 4th, 2010

Rec.fm - Recommend A Product for Charity, Share with Your FriendsWhat it does:
Rec.fm is a new service which allows easy creation and sharing via social media of product recommendations for the benefit of charitable causes.

51% of Rec.fm’s earnings are donated to the charities of users who make product recommendations. Proprietary technology of Rec.fm scores product recommendations based upon data indicators of “trust” and prioritizes presentation of the most trustworthy recommendations to searchers.

The service is fully integrated with major social networks like Facebook and Twitter and major commerce networks such as Amazon.com and Shopping.com. rec.fm is a 2010 SXSW Web Award finalist.

How it beats the competition:
Product search is increasingly irrelevant, spam filled, and dominated by advertising. The solution is Rec.fm’s friends to friends product recommendations that can’t be bought and are directly relevant within a social circle.
Why Rec.fm will win in the space: first to market, clear path to profitability, thought leader, experienced team, and plans for extensive interactive user engagement model with gaming dynamics on Facebook.
