the popurls blog

besides some cleanup on the page, we’ve finally found the always-excellent pinboard as a perfect replacement for spammy delicious. thanks for the tip!

as you might have heard, yahoo is shutting down some of their offerings so buzz and video have preemptively been replaced on the main popurls.com site.

another award for popurls, the brown edition for UPS. more info on the forrester blog.

the popurls screensaver for mac is finally available for os 10.6

following an increasing popularity of reddit over digg i’m pleased to announce that popurls’ board has agreed on the first default-order change since inception, implying that reddit is now the top left spot on the site for all new users ;)

seamless login & sharing via facebook are back after a couple of weeks of hiatus due to changes in the API.

just a quick heads-up that everything works flawlessly again after yesterday’s launch of digg v4.

i’m happy to announce that popurls has been acquired by tweetup, an idealab company. after more than four years of solo work, i’m thrilled to see popurls become part of a big team and the new possibilities this will open up. for further infos, see the official press release or techcrunch.

special thanks goes to wired mag’s senior maverick kevin kelly whose blog post on popurls in 2006 got it all started.

i got a couple of requests for this: you can now enable an option to have all links on the iphone/android version opened automatically in a new tab instead of going back & forward between sites.

you can now use the .com main site as well as the plain .mobi on opera mini for both, the iphone & android.
