Lately everyone who is anyone in social media paid tremendous attention to a little Norwegian startup that goes by the name of “Secondbrain.” There were reasons for people to talk about this new social aggregation platform, some of them including the MacBook Air contest that pre-announced the launch of the Beta 2.0
I already covered Secondbrain and its features in a previous post so right now I would like to focus on the latest news.
Apparently the approach of the official Beta 2.0 launch – June 12 – made some waves in the blogosphere. Today Secondbrain added more than 800 new users and the signups continue to flow as I type these lines. With the flux of new users the already existent Secondbrainiacs have all the reasons to “fear” competition in the quest to win the MacBook Air. There are still a few days till the launch – date when the contest will be over. One week later Secondbrain will announce the winners. On a personal note… it is still pretty unclear how these will be selected. There are however entries on the Secondbrain blog Second Thoughts that offer some answers.
Contest or no contest, Secondbrain managed to receive plenty of favorable reviews in the past month – and this is encouraging for the developers. If you remember, Secondbrain started in March 2005, but some technical difficulties broke the rhythm and allowed it for Profilactic and FriendFeed to grow, despite their inferior features.
To make a long story short, if you are still in doubt about joining Secondbrain, here are some reviews you’ll find useful to make up your mind.
