Dipity 2.0 and the social flow
Posted by sandnsurf on October 2008
Once again thanks to AltSearchEngines and TechCrunch for their early reviews of Dipity.com and Dipity2.0 released on October 2nd. The redesign of Dipity2.0 brings a host of new features and increased social interaction
Dippity is about letting users follow updates from the people and topics they care about, and have fun doing it. (BK Gupta)
So what is Dipity – and what can you do with it? Dipity is a social feed aggregator; web and topic searching tool; topic/news updating service….and much more. Dipity allows the user to
- Follow friends and friends feeds (start by importing your twitter contacts)
- Search the web (Dipity will search the web for the most popular content – and keep you posted on new developments concerning the topic)
- Follow RSS feeds (drop your favorite RSS feed into your lifestream)
- Create and share your very own Dipity Channel
Dipity organizes updates from sites like YouTube, WordPress and Twitter as well as 7500 news sites into “channels” on an interactive timeline. Users create ‘personal channels’ (lifestreams) from popular social sites like Twitter, Pandora, or Flickr to broadcast updates to their friends, and can start a channel about anything from Aalborg to zygapophysis in just a few seconds.
Social interactivity has been transformed with the re-design. Simply sync your Twitter friends as Dipity friends to immediately start following feeds. Share the Dipity channel well as being able to follow friends, your dipity search channel has been made very easy to share. Twitter messaging is soon to be intergrated to enhance the medium of micro-blogging to the site.
View your followed topics and friends on a sliding timeline; as a Flipbook; in list format or on a world map – in full screen, browser view or as a widget.
Great stuff from the Dipity crew – enjoying my early interactions with the user interface and looking forward to twittering from the home page and really getting to grips with the enhanced features.
Early days in the review of this site – but I love it. Great interactivity, rapid and responsive timeline with great graphics and visual markers. The enhanced interface holds the user on course to explore their chosen topic, only to drift through pixelated threads to wash up on some far distant surfing shore…
