SocialThing! is our inaugural partner for Crenked Out! Crenked Out! offers free invites to unique products for Crenk Readers. SocialThing is basically a lifestyle or content aggregator. With most people these days having 2 social network profiles, possible a blog or two, a twitter account, pounce account and more, it is hard to keep up with all this information. SocialThing is trying to provide the product that will bring all of these profiles together in a simple environment, which will allow the users to not only keep up-to-date on all their content but even make some connects that werent previously possible.

SocialThing! has been nice enough to offer 300 invites to Crenk readers. First come first served, so head here to signup.

Guy Kawasaki officially launches Alltop.

“Today we are opening Alltop, a news aggregation site that provides “all the top” stories for forty of the most popular topics on the Web. The headlines and first paragraph of the five most recent stories from forty to eighty sources for each topic are displayed. Alltop stories are refreshed approximately every ten minutes.

A good metaphor is that Alltop is an “online magazine rack” that displays the news from the top publications and blogs. Our goal is to satisfy the information needs of the 99% of Internet users who will never use an RSS feed reader or create a custom page. Think of it as “aggregation without the aggravation.”

Here at Crenk we are very excited to be a founding partner for Alltop. You can find us at the Social Media tab.
