cliKball

Friday, Mar 6. 2009  –  Category: Linkage, Musings

I’ve been enthusiastically using cliKball a lot lately, and have become a big enough fan, I actually sent out a few invitations to friends to use it too.  I don’t normally do this (honestly, I tend to get annoyed at all the “Join my new Web 2.0 service!” invites I typically get), but cliKball has been so super cool, I succumbed to the invite thing.

Apologies to any friends I sent invites to that won’t use the service… to the few folks I sent invites to: it was only because you guys make prodigious use of bookmarks, or always have interesting stuff to share with me…

cliKball is sort of a del.icio.us + Twitter, all in one… it sits, unobtrusively, in your Firefox browser – and when you add a bookmark, all your followers see it (and your comments), and everyone can follow and have a conversation directly in the browser about it.  There are a bunch of us at Songbird who have started using it, mostly for sharing inane things we find hilarious, but I’m starting to find it useful for more serious things now too.  And in the vein of all things Webby, it’s got ATOM/RSS feeds… which I’m looking to pull into my blog at somepoint soon.

Anyway – go sign up.. I’m stevel on it. :)

    I think of cliKball as an amazing implementation of a kind of boring idea. The concept has been around for ages and it’s present in most social networks including del.icio.us and Facebook, but cliKball’s in-browser immediacy is key.

    Yeah – the idea of sharing links and talking about them has gone from email->del.icio.us->Facebook/Twitter, but it’s so much more satisfying and easy to do it from within the browser.

    del.icio.us sort of hit on that with its bookmarklets and extensions, but was missing the whole conversation aspect that you get with Facebook (and to a lesser extent, Twitter)
