This is a repost from TechCrunch

While at the recent Seedcamp Speed Dating event, I was introduced to UberVU. UberVU provides a single location to track conversations across multiple locations and sites. This social aggregation tool provides a conversational graph of threaded conversations. UberVU get comments, reactions, and mentions around a story from multiple services. This can be used by corporations to monitor the buzz surrounding a brand, but it also allows users to take part in the entire conversation.

For example, with the plugin, someone reading an article in Google Reader can see what others are saying about a post. I wonder, though, if we’re already inundated with information and if there’s a need for yet another aggregator. A case in point: a recent story in the Guardian (and this happens on many other news sites) has 300 comments (many of which are by trolls and don’t provide much insight) and a recent post on TechCrunch Europe has 44 comments. Multiply that by the number of comments on other sites and it’s pretty overwhelming.

In the video below, Vladimir Oane, one of the co-founders of UberVU, explains how the service works and its potential for expansion. Developers can add the UberVU plug in to their own sites. Vladimir also explains how it can be used for personal branding as well as brand management.

 Want to tell your loved ones you love them Web 2.0 style? Here are some Love 2.0 Cards brought to you by Flyer Blogging. You can email the card to your loved ones, or post it on MySpace, Orkut, hi5, Facebook FunWall, and other social networks, blogs and Web pages using Hyplet‘s publishing platform:

Hyplet enables users to easily create, customize and publish free promotional hyplets (widgets) such as online business cards and flyers. Creation is easy and does not require users to have any special graphics skills. Users canthen embed hyplets in blogs, social networks, websites, and web emails.

Check out my blog hyplet:

I think this is a really cool service. I’d advise Hyplet to create a Facebook application which enables the creation of hyplets on Facebook. Every such hyplet is of course an ad for Hyplet as well as the user. I would also suggest to allow large groups to form their Hyplets Web pages where all members cards including their contact info are found on one page. In addition, Hyplet should allow users to embed hyplet on a few Web pages at once instead of having to do each one separately. This will definitely increase its exposure.

MeeMix has come out with two cool new widgets that I wanted to tell you about.

The Mee Artist widget which displays your most popular artists:

And the Mee Friends widget which displays four of your friends:

This is the one I’ve added myself.

Older widgets allow you to show the song that you’re currently listening to, the music station which you like the most, and lastly, the genre which you like the best.

So if you’re as in love with MeeMix’s logo as I am, go ahead, add some spunk to your blog with one of these beauties.

I must say i have always loved MyBlogLog. When I recommend to startups to create not only a branded widget, but a useful one that site owners would actually want to put it on their site, this is the kind of widget I am talking about. The MyBlogLog widget provides a great way for you to know who’s visited your blog, learn more about them, and read their blogs as well. Often time you find that people who stop by your blog usually have excellent taste and seem to write pretty nice blogs themselves as well. I have met many interesting bloggers and found some excellent readings by clicking on their faces.

Now MyBlogLog has introduced the new tagging feature that allows users to add tags to each of the communities, thereby allowing for better findings of content you’re looking for. So for instance, if you know social media is one of your topics of interest, you can check out all those tagged with social media. It’s a great way to find new readings and also connect with bloggers who have similar interests to yours. MyBlogLog has also asked users to tag spam blogs as “Schmoe” which is also a nice way of filtering the system from spammers.

Once a tag is added to your community, other users can vote it up or down. This determines its size in the cloud. You can also permanently remove any tag you don’t fancy. Currently tags are imported from Del.icio.us and Technorati. Other sources will be added over time.

I applaud Yahoo for finally upgrading MyBlogLog as they have promised. I understand other changes, including a redesign, are also coming up soon. Really looking forward to that.
