SEEDROUND: Where It All Starts

Excited to Announce Boxxet: Trying to Bring You The Best

Boxxet logoToday, I am happy to announce Boxxet. 

Boxxet (pronounced “box set”) brings together the “best of” news, blogs, photos, gear, services and much more on people’s favorite subjects (teams, sports, hobbies, TV shows, schools, etc). Boxxet uses a unique combination of computer automation and community participation to produces the most diverse and complete best-of compilations on even narrow subjects.

Boxxet is open by invitation. We are doing this to make sure we can handle any crowds we hope show and also to make sure everything works well. But if you are in the first few hundred to sign up, you should get an invitation rather quickly.

Dan Gartung and I have been working hard to make this happen and we will be talking about Boxxet at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference on Wednesday, March 8, 2006.

Wow! This is something that I have been wishing for, for ages!

Hello.

This looks like a realy good idea whith Boxxet, so realy want to try it out.

But I’m sorry to write this here, you could remover it if it not posted at right place.

I tried to register to the service, but I had problems when I was entering my screen name. I wasn’t allowed to use Unicode (or even LATIN-1, ISO-8859-1 that is) characters. Which is bad, I think. I thought you wanted to know. ;-)

Please wangle an invite for me. I would like to see how Boxxet aggregates news and info about the US “Real ID” law, which my blog http://realIdSucks.blogspot.com is about. My email is:

Will try hard in the upcoming weeks to get everyone in. Surprised to be slash-dotted; interesting day.

Boxxet to automatically build your personal website…

You Mon Tsang has recently launched Boxxet, a tool to create a website on any subject. The contents are gathered from several sources and then automatically grouped and organized by subjects….

Hi. I found that promising, and although I did not have the opportunity to try it, I mention Boxxet on my blog : http://www.inma.ucl.ac.be/~francois/blog/entries/entry_66.php

All the best

Hi, I’m also interested to try it out ;)

Anders:

Thanks for the note on the error with the Unicode; we will check it out.

By You Mon Tsang on 03.09.06 8:31 am

Sounds like a great Idea. I’m looking for a tool that helps me bringing all the private stuff besides work together and boxxit sounds to be a great candidate.
