If you are tracking Social Media conversations or news on a daily basis to stay abreast of your niche or brand mentions then you are probably going to be interested in the public beta release of Fizzik. It’s an innovative new Web Browser that allows users to quickly preview rich media in search or social search. For example if your niche is interior design and you us social media to stay on top of recent developments and trends in your industry. You might search “interior design” on Twitter to catch the latest buzz. If you are not doing this for your industry or niche you might want to think about it.
As you can see from the example (twitter search for “interior design” on the right there are a lot of links in that feed.
This is the case with most feeds.
So if you wanted to know what was on the end of all those links you would need to click through and find out. Enter Fizzik. Using Fizzik you will have a split screen that returns all the search results on the left and results you select on the right. So you can rapidly scan those things that you are interested in and those you aren’t. From Fizzik you can then instantly re-share the content you have discovered with your audience/community/tribe via Twitter, Facebook, or Gmail. This is going to save you a lot of time if you are doing this everyday.
