Consumer Web Evolution
Past: Everyone consumes content.
Current: Everyone produces content at various sites.
Next?
“Everyone integrates their content from various sites into a
single accessible place”
Our Goal
To build a platform that lets users bring their

Reduce personalization, adopt a more streamlined user

Next version is scheduled to launch in August 2009.
