Buzzing About Strawberryj.am

While everyone else is busy comparing Google+ to Facebook, I have been checking out a different cool social media application called Strawberryj.am.  Strawberryj.am is a free online application that connects to your Twitter stream and harvests the most popular links being shared by those you follow on Twitter.  Therefore, it removes the “chatter” from your stream to reveal only the most popular links.   Here is how Strawberryj.am describes itself:

We ignore the chatter and only look at links shared in your network. Then we trend those links and ignore those that get lost in the noise. The result:

You’re always in the loop without ever getting exhausted, people will wonder how you manage it. It’s because you aren’t average. You have Strawberry Jam!

The keyword search feature works wonderfully and returns quality links shared in a network anywhere from real time up to the last 24 hours.  If you have worked hard to find great twitter accounts to follow, you will love Strawberryj.am.  Think about how RSS feed readers help manage your online news gathering process and you will begin to understand the power of Strawberryj.am. So, whether you follow cooks, crafters, geeks, or bookworms on Twitter, you can use Strawberryj.am to present only the really good tweets.

Although Strawberryj.am is still a closed beta product, its interface is very polished and intuitive.  I really like the daily e-mail alerts feature that sends popular links from up to four of your chosen keywords.  I did not have any luck getting the list feature to work, but I will just ping the Strawberryj.am folks on Twitter and let them know.

The site hints at upcoming Facebook integration, so this product has tons of potential, especially if it can filter Facebook fan page links. As for future features, I would love to be able to switch between multiple Twitter account streams without having to create a separate Strawberryj.am account for each Twitter account. In the mean time, I love watching the cute little bee, Beeta, pop out from behind the results box and let me know how many popular links it found.

Strawberryj.am is currently in closed beta, but if you tweet a request to @strawberryapp, you will likely get an invite to this new, super cool, content gleaning secret weapon.  You can also register through the Strawberryj.am website. If you get an invite, be sure to provide feedback to Strawberryj.am so they can make it even better.
