Knowing where your friends are commenting
Yesterday, we rolled out a few more features, some more significant than others. But the most important one was showing you the most recent posts where you top contacts are commenting.
That’s a new paradigm for content discovery. Typically, we were used to following our friends’ Twitter streams, what they liked, shared, or linked to, and that was the extent of the serendipitous...
Engagio is OPEN, and we bought the domain!
As of January 30th, Engagio is now OPEN for signups without the proverbial “Invite Code”. Since our December 6th unveiling on Fred Wilson’s blog, we processed over 3,000 invite requests without any marketing on our part.

Seeing Relationships from your Commenting...

Engagio’s First Premise: The Universal Commenting...
Engagio’s first premise is about its utility factor- the utility of seeing all of your commenting activity in one place.
As engaged users, we all comment in various places. But to keep up, we need to either re-visit these sites, or receive multiple email notifications when a reply has been posted. So, why not borrow the Gmail analogy and have a tool that collects all of your comments as messages...
