Brizzly is Funny. Obviously Wants to Be More than a Twitter Client.

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 Â 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.

I haven't tried threadsy and I don't think Brizzly will replace TweetDeck for me just yet. TD is too integrated into my work. But it's replaced Seesmic on my netbook. We'll see what other features they come up with.

Nice, I didn't even take note of that. Thanks for the pointer.

Thanks 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.

Brizzly 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
