Streakr.com, the web discovery tool and social networking site today announced its launch into beta phase and calls for users to test its site.
Streakr boasts of bringing users the best of the web. Users simply download a ‘discovery’ bar onto their browsers which, at the touch of a button, finds dozens of new websites that match their interests. They can then rate the sites they like and dislike by stamping them with a ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ icon. Once selected, the URLs are saved onto their personal profile page and indexed for future reference. The sites, which users can also review, can then be shared with fellow Streakrs via the social network.
“Streakr is unique in that it brings together web discovery, social bookmarking and a social network in a user-friendly, customisable environment,” Neil Gould, co-founder and CEO of Streakr said.
Other features of Streakr include: fully customisable profile pages; the ability to search for friends on other social networks; public comment boards on each profile; a private email system; a photo gallery and an MP3 player.
