Brizzly
On my netbook I don’t run many programs. No AIR apps like TweetDeck. So I’ve been using Seesmic’s Web app, but was very intrigued when I heard about Brizzly.
I’m really liking Brizzly so far. It’s nice to see a startup with personality.
One of their features is an explanation for trending topics. This has to be human generated. Check out this explanation:
#ImTwitaddicted
A hashtag started by Alyssa Milano and picked up by her fans. Who knew Alyssa Milano had fans?
I found it interesting that Brizzly had me choose a username as part of my sign up process. Why is this Weird? Because “Twitter clients” act as a pass-through and usually just use your  Twitter username.
A quick look around shows that Brizzly is a product of Thing Labs. Run by some some ex-Googlers.
Brizzly obviously has bigger plans than that. I’m really excited to see what they come out with.

I'm a fan of Brizzly as well. I got an invite for Threadsy after I'd been playing with Brizzly for a few days. I've dropped Threadsy in favor of Brizzly for now.

Posted by tacanderson | 05. Oct, 2009, 3:25 pmThanks for the post! One of the main reasons we have you create a Brizzly username is that it allows you to add multiple Twitter accounts, and, in the future, other social media accounts. Hope you keep using Brizzly.
Posted by Grant | 16. Oct, 2009, 12:09 amBrizzly definitely stands out. I’ve never seen a service that made things so comical. I mean, some of the things Brizzly says are REALLY funny. I like how it basically bad mouths a lot of celebs. It’s just epic haha
