So you're a startup news junkie? Startuply Social Newswire with Slinkset (startuply.com)

One of our features at Startuply lets startups import their blog RSS feeds into their company profiles. We think it helps give you a little extra context about the company and some insight into what they're thinking about. We also aggregate all of the feeds together into our little Startuply Newswire.

Well, the RSS stream became a river, and the river a flood. With hundreds of startup blog feeds, our newswire has overflown its banks. To help keep it interesting, we used Slinkset (which is amazing) to build our own social news site: check it out at http://news.startuply.com. This is startup news straight from the source, told by the companies that are making it.

The feed has been in my reader since launch, and I've already found a load of fascinating stuff that hasn't been covered or reported anywhere else. We're pretty excited to see what rises to the top with your help.

Personally, I'll be down-modding just about every Etsy story that comes through. Don't get me wrong, Etsy is great; I'm just tired of reading about handmade dreamcatchers that only let neon hipster dreams through.


It looks like people are finding a lot of creative ways to use slinkset. A lot of niche markets and companies could benefit from a site like this


You could also create a Netvibes universe. http://eco.netvibes.com/universes
