I think it makes things more fun now that his startup, pressflip, is launched.
- unalone 18y agoYeah. Although I disagree with the criticism people have given Pressflip. Ted was pretty honest about what he wanted to make: something that did one small thing very well. And, from my testing of it, it does its job very well, and people criticize it for doing one small thing.
- ntoshev 18y agoIs it really better than Google Alerts? I think the problem with this kind of services is that you want to follow a topic, but the information out there is still too much and there is too much redundancy. Does Pressflip solve this somehow?
- unalone 18y agoIt's better than Google Alerts, to some extent. It's good if you really want to eliminate all the noise. "Flipping" a story does help make the stream more selective in what it reports to you.
- fallentimes 18y agoDuring my use of it, I noticed it was missing sources especially compared to Google Alerts. Have you noticed this?
- ntoshev 18y agoIt is very clearly a better feedback than Google ever gets. BTW I don't think it does a "small thing". It is not a smaller problem than search itself. I think the most natural UI for this are feeds though (not email like Google Alerts and not a standalone site like Pressflip).
- fallentimes 18y agoOr Backtype? My searches on press flip didn't have a lot of the stuff Google Alerts picked up.
