The Curious Genius of Twitter

By: Kermit Pattison
From Issue | March 2008

Fast Interview: Co-founder Evan Williams talks about why it helps to have a side project, why he had to leave Google to found Twitter, and why Twitter isn't called Friend Stalker.

Is Twitter the next big thing or a twempest in a tweepot? Twitter is a free "micro-blogging" service that allows users to send updates, or "tweets" -- messages of up to 140 characters that answer the question "what are you doing now?" The updates are kept on the user's profile page and distributed to friends via text messages, instant messaging, RSS feeds, and other applications.

SearchMe, a search engine startup with a visual interface

searchme031108.png

03.11.2008

SearchMe is another search startup that wants to take on Google, but it’s more inspired by part of the iTunes interface. It is a visual search engine, of sorts, that shows you results in a series of revolving panes, with each pane featuring a search result. In iTunes, this format is used to feature the covers of albums, not search results.

In case you were interested in switching away from Google, SearchMe has some other potentially useful features. It offers categories to help you find what you’re looking for, faster. For example, if you type in “labrador puppies,” as seen in the demo video below, you can click on an icon for puppies to clarify that you’re not looking for information about a province of the Canadian government. If you want a list of SearchMe search results instead of the visual interface, you can drag open the list from the bottom of the screen.

Storage/Sharing Startup Drop.io Raises $2.7M

Peter Kafka | March 10, 2008 8:13 AM

Storage site startup Drop.io has raised a $2.7 million Series A round led by DFJ Gotham and RRE ventures. The 5-person company has raised $3.9 million during its lifespan, which dates all the way back to last August; we guesstimate the company is now valued in the $7 million to $10 million range. That means co-founders Sam Lessin (24), and Darshan Somashekar (25), both fresh from Bain, are now competing with Tumblr's David Karp for NYC's "kids with the sexiest, best-funded startup" award.
