excellent points by the Blog Maverick and Amplify fits right in… What has changed� ? Quite a bit, but lets start with this.� TWITTER IS SURPASSING� GOOGLE as a destination for finding information on breaking and recent news� of all types. Whats more, � TWITTER POSSES NO THREAT to any destination news site. 140 characters does not a story make.� Find it on twitter, link to a story on say, FoxNews and everyone is happy. The same concept applies to Facebook Links. Twitter and Facebook are not news� destinations that can compete with traditional news sources.� Google is.�� Rupert loves him some twitter. Google, not so much. |
| TWITTER AND FACEBOOK are platforms that allow the news sources, like newscorp to post breaking news and gain value from their brand. Google does not.� In other words, if I trust a newspaper, tv or any� brand, I can follow it on twitter and expect the news to come to me. |
I enjoy the Amplify experience on Firefox and wish you all many years of success! | Celebrating Five Years of Firefox! |
In just five years, that number has swelled to over 330 million users worldwide; almost a quarter of Internet users worldwide choose Firefox. Today, Firefox ships in more than 70 languages and offers users more than 7,000 add-ons to help customize their browsing experience. Read more at blog.mozilla.com |
I could have sworn Eric Goldstein (CEO, Amplify) was talking… With Augmented Search, Xmarks Sees New Service, Revenues |
Think of what Xmarks’ Searchtab is doing as augmented search — after all, it’s making the search experience better. It’s only a matter of time before we start to see more of these add-ons and ancillary services emerge to augment search results. (Related: More Services to Help Discover Similar Sites.) |
There is an unprecedented explosion of data taking place on the web right now, and all that content desperately needs context. As I outlined in my essay, How Internet Content Distribution and Discovery Are Changing, “we are seeing a disruption of behavior in how people use the web,” which in turn means that the 10 blue links popularized by Google won’t be enough. “We add 40 links or so to make more sense of our topics,” Joaquin notes.

this morning was really odd. both facebook and twitter were off. with regard to twitter, it was more than just error messages but a denial of service attack (ugly stuff).
twitter is clearly the NOW network (sorry Sprint). however, Amplify showed me that we are an information network - as i was able to see clips from the community, learn about what was going on, and have a conversation about it.
i hope Twitter is up and running soon! | Noooo: Both Twitter and Facebook are flailing this morning. How will people plan their evening drinking sessions? And are they expected to actually put in an honest day’s work in the meantime? It’s a Thursday in August, for God’s sake.Read more at gawker.com |
yes. and they should share what they are reading via Amplify! | Apparently, the New York Times is still unsure whether its reporters should be allowed to Tweet or not. |
Twitter’s far from perfect, but it’s not a fad. In my experience, you can get a lot of value out of the service as a reporter even if you choose not to engage in public tweeting but rather keep to a close circle. Heck, even Twitter Search seems to me an essential tool for journalists tracking breaking stories and events. Why would readers want journalists to be less informed? Read more at www.techcrunch.com |
I’ve always seen the great potential for Amplify to be a key ingredient for brands looking to leverage the social web - both internally and externally. Of course one of the benefits of such a tool is that it minimizes the need for you to have multiple clipping tools in your browser. Instead of having one for Facebook, another for Delicious, and still others for FriendFeed and Tumblr, Aplify gives you multiple options in a single tool. |
| As far as business use goes, there seems to be some potential for Amplify, as many brands that are taking to the web need easily integrated tools for redistributing their content across the social web.Read more at www.socialtimes.com |
We are really excited about this great review! Clip, Blog, Tweet, and Share with Amplify |
 Amplify is a new service that lets you clip the things you see and read on the web and share them with others through social media, blog posts, and even Twitter. If that sounds a lot like what Clipmarks does, you’re right. You see, Amplify was made by Clipmarks’ creators and it almost seems like a variation on their theme of “clip and share.” But if we had to choose between the two services, we think Amplify is the better choice today.

Our friend Jeff Pulver absolutely nails it on the fusion of Old and New Media… Old Media + New Media = NOW Media |
Since being part of the CNN / Facebook experience during President Obama’s Inauguration, I have been thinking about about something which I have been calling: NOW Media. At first I thought it New Media should just be rebranded as NOW Media. But I was wrong. NOW Media is different. It represents the fusion of both platforms more than just a rebranding of one or the other. And a week after the world discovered Susan Boyle and a week which included a “Race to a Million” followers on twitter between Aston Kutcher and CNN, I believe none of these things would not have happened if it wasn’t for the advent of NOW Media.

I’m a big fan of Matt and couldn’t agree more. On that note, a big reason for Amplify being created (and on Matt’s creation - Wordpress)… Mullenweg relates this to blogs, social media and information on the web in its current state. Better ways of digesting information are needed, different ways of taking in information and absorbing everything currently thrown at us. Read more at thenextweb.com |
an initial review of Amplify by Andrew Wright or @batterista on Twitter… If you’re like me, the combination of Twitter use and time constraints have taken it’s toll on your blog. I’ve been pretty busy (a good thing), and when I’m online, I’m either devouring content or engaging with others on Twitter and Facebook rather than spending time blogging here. Clogging may be the perfect middle ground for individuals as well as a powerful information-sharing tool within the enterprise. |
The economic downturn is putting pressure on businesses of all kinds, and the ones that do a better job of capturing and disseminating knowledge internally can have a leg up on the competition. I like things that have silo-destroying potential within organizations, and Amplify can be a great silo-smasher. Sales can read up on what Marketing is reading. Product Development can learn about market trends. Executives get up-to-date insight into competitive activities. And they can all converse around what they’ve found.
