Kinja Beta
Posted by Stowe Boyd
I saw (in a NY Times piece by David Gallegher) that Kinja has gone live with a beta, and after fddling around with it for few minutes (see my digest) I had an aggregation of a few of my favorite blogs up and running.
Kinja turns out to have none of the social networking flavor that I anticipated (see recent blurt: "Rumors of Kinja"), but instead looks like a blog aggregation for those who a/ don't know anything about blogs, or b/ don't want to use more compact representation of blog content.
Still have to wait and see if Kinja is plotting something around social networks. Check out the screenshot -- looks like there is something social going on with "friends and favorites." Where its headed, I don't know. And Meg Hourihan won't answer my emails...
Earlier today I stumbled across Pluck, which is an IE plugin RSS aggregator that runs in a panel in the browser. Way easier to use than Kinja.

What emails? What's the from name or address? I don't see anything from "stowe" or "boyd" in any of my folders.

If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done.
