amanda congdon teams up with popurls · 2006-08-26

pop goes the url again! i'm announcing the cooperation with amanda congdon. launching in mid september she will remix the best urls from popurls every weekday in her own little box right on popurls. we've decided to come up with a quick poll on how many urls you folks would like to be served for the daily link dinner.
annotation: popurls adopts a neutral position to the long-forgotten rocketboom files. far from it, this is just a straightforward cooperation.

update: a few bloggers raised questions - as stated, amanda will post interesting links to her own section on popurls - it's of course not a related to a vlog project.

update #2: seems some authority sites out there regard this as a PR campaign. you're welcome to mention popurls but please don't call it a company or marketing activity, it's only a site built by and for news addicts, just like amanda.

update #3: scobleizer gets jealous - remember what KK said? 8)

  18. Who cares about Amanda Congdon? Her 15 minutes are over. If you're going to do this, get LonelyGirl15 or the next "it" girl.
    Or rotate the personalities. I come to PopUrls because it offers information from a lot of different outlets. [bad words removed]

  19. I'm so excited about this, Tom!! This is the beginning of something totally awesome. And to anyone who may be confused, this is just one of several projects I am cooking up-- most of the others are on camera.

    xoxo!! Popurls rules forever!
