IWouldHaveBoughtYouThis.com Wraps Gift URLs with Cullect
Conceptually, short URLs are kind of like little, wrapped, gifts. You don’t really know what’s there until clicked…er, um….opened.
So, just in time for a your revised holiday shopping, IWouldHaveBoughtYouThis.com is the latest site to using Cullect’s URL shortening API.
Enter the link to Apple’s iPhone, a ride-on triceratops, or a new Audi A3 into the textfield, and IWouldHaveBoughtYouThis.com returns a ‘wrapped’ URL to share….cause it’s the thought that counts 
MinnPost.com’s Branded URL Shortener Powered by Cullect
I’m very pleased to announce MinnPo.st – the branded URL shortener for Minnesota’s nonprofit journalism enterprise – MinnPost.com. MinnPo.st is the first private-label URL shortener powered by Cullect.com’s API.
For the writers and reporters at MinnPost.com, MinnPo.st has the exact same features as Cullect’s own Culld.us URL shortener – like click counting and posting to Twitter – but with a brand their readers recognize.
For an example of how Karl Pearson-Cater, David Brauer, and the rest of the MinnPost.com team is using MinnPo.st: minnpo.st Twitter Search.
Cullect Featured as a Participatory Journalism Tool
As part of the forthcoming E-competencies Conference in Mexico City later this week, Tom Elko recorded a video about Cullect’s 3C’s (context, collaboration, and curation) and using Cullect as a participatory journalism tool.
The bit specific to Cullect starts at the 5 minute mark.
Thanks Tom!
Cullect is Feeding MIMA’s Summit 08 Reading List
That’s Cullect in the bottom row, 2nd from the right.
The Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association is prepping for their big, annual Summit on October 1st at Elsie’s in Northeast Minneapolis (my backyard).
To set the tone, they’ve created a Cullect.com Reading List – http://cullect.com/mima08 – and loaded it up with the blog and Twitter feeds of the presenters.
These event-based reading lists is something I’m very interested in. Seems like a great way to warm attendees up to a topic and its presenter ahead of time.
