launched mid-August 2010

Why not set up a free account for yourself and see what you think of it? The online content is indexed. You can share with friends via Twitter, FaceBook, and other social networking sites.  It has its own blog.  I especially liked the InfoGrab section.  Let me know what you think by adding a comment to this post.
