Mozzler

Today Mozzler is releasing a preview video of its new beta website. The service is currently invite only, however the video highlights the key features of the new website.

In contrast to the current Mozzler website, the new version is much more than just real-time search. Mozzler integrates with Facebook and Twitter, providing a single news stream of links and comments called the “Mozzler Stream”. News streams are also available for viewing Twitter lists, users and search results.

Mozzler News Streams

Mozzler uses a number of techniques to provide users with an enhanced view of links appearing in a news stream. Page titles and descriptions are displayed inline so users know exactly where the page leads. Videos are automatically embedded into the stream and images from twitter upload sites are expanded and displayed inline. Mozzler also scans the page for images that appear to be relevant to the specific page and displays those if found, helping add context to the link.

Social News Discovery

Users can connect their Facebook and Twitter accounts to show a single Mozzler Stream. This information is also used to recommend new users to follow. For example, a user may be friends with someone on Facebook, but not follow their friends Twitter account. Mozzler can provide the required connection and suggest the user follow their friends Twitter account.

In a similar fashion, Mozzler knows all the Twitter lists your friends are following (provided they are also using Mozzler). These lists are ranked based on the number of friends subscribed, providing recommendations on the best lists to follow.

Beta Invites

The Mozzler beta website is currently invite only. People wishing to get an invite should follow mozzler on twitter @mozzler_news for announcements of more invites becoming available.
