FiltrBox is Blowing Persistent Search Away
June 28th, 2008 by Andrew Hyde Posted in ThoughtsI’ve been impressed with Ari and Tom (the founders of FitrBox) for their drive and passion over the last year. Whenever I have needed a swift kick in the ass or a clarification of a complex startup ideology, they have been there.
I was looking at AllTop, a site built by my friends over at Electric Pulp and Guy Kawasak, and noticed that they opened up a “VIP’s” section. Very cool. A simple rss feed from a famous figure, but how do you do that without that person having a blog? Enter FiltrBox. With their persistent search, people like the Dalai Lama can have their own aggregate, contently updated feed.
Notice the popup above with an article about a Kid Rock concert, that somehow, in some way, payed homage to the Dalai.
Pretty cool stuff.
