I just pushed an update live that has the benefit of both easier to read code and faster performance (”hey, you’ve got peanut butter in my chocolate”, etc).

With this post, I’m shifting my focus of Cullect to marketing and performance/bug fixes.

Feels good.

Here’s where I’ve landed – suggestions welcome.

Cullect.com is a feed aggregator platform focused on helping you find and share the most relevant items. In addition to presenting news items in reverse chronological order, Cullect.com offers an ‘Important’ view – a ranking of the items on 10 distinct attributes.

“I only have time to read three posts, I can be assured that reading the first three posts in my Cullect.com reading list will be satisfying and relevant to my interests.”- Laurie McGinley

One of the most heavily weighted attributes in the ‘Important’ ranking is how much money paying members of Cullect.com have given to the each web publisher.

“I’m not even going to talk about how you can pay Cullect so that part of your monthly subscription goes to publishers you read. I can’t even tell you how cool I think that is.” – Tony Thomas

Cullect.com’s built-in editor makes for easy publishing to your existing weblog, Twitter.com, and Tumblr.com accounts.

  • What is Cullect?
  • Who’s using it?
  • How do I use it?
  • Why does it do this?
  • etc, etc, etc.

This blog is the place for those questions and the thinking behind Cullect.com.

Hello.
