1st 2 Loud3r Be4a 5ites Live

Check these out… Vot3r and Fast3r, the first two beta sites from former-Yahoo Lowell Goss’s new startup Loud3r, have just gone live.

Vot3rEssentially, Loud3r sites use community and some special algorithm magic to help you keep-up with topics that simply have too much information to follow by drinking from an RSS topic feed — in this case a very well-timed voting site and all-things speed related. As you would expect from a Lowell project, the sites are beautiful and easy to use. And my boys from Cloudspace worked with the Loud3r team to get the platform built — so you know it is solid.

Great stuff guys. Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to see the next sites go live and how the platform & communities evolve over time.

    …And the topics page is a thing of beauty. It is probably the best list of voter topics, presidential candidates, politicians, issues, organizations, key locations, events, etc. that I have seen. Great ways to slice and dice the news — super addicting.

    Great post. The Cloudspace guys have definitely rocked it. The architecture that these guys have built makes scaling to more and bigger topics very easy.
