What bubble? We’re a dotcom now!

There’s a ton to announce. Here’s the topline.

What bubble? We’re a dotcom! 

Our new Web address is http://postpost.com

Improved link, photo and video search

Search is more powerful now, and more intuitive. Find things like videos about hurricane #Irene or photos #fromSpace by @astro_ron (the Tweetin’ astronaut).

Content previews by embedly

A tighter integration with embedly means even *more* of the rich link, photo and video previews you’ve come to expect from our search results.

Here’s how we got rich with embedly

The Storify button

All you curators out there, now you can make something out of the great stuff you find on PostPost: click the Storify button to save great Tweets to your soon to be even greater Storifies.

The Storify button made PostPost more useful

#hashtag and literal searching

Our searches are “fuzzy”, which means a search for bananas will return Tweets and links that include the words bananas AND banana. But if you’re after a #hashtag or a @username, now you’ll get only exact matches. And if you want to find stuff about Steve Jobs, just put his name in quotes: a search for “Steve Jobs” will bring back stuff about the man, but nothing about the Jobs package.

More on our advanced search features

Thanks for sticking with us as we’ve grown into the product we’re so excited to announce today.

Parents routinely fall into the trap of bragging about their kids, but would you deny this kid has a certain genius?

The creative team: a comb instead of a T?

This is a response to Edward’s latest post about the many specialists who make up the new creative team. Give it a read. In the post, he uses the famous T graphic, which puts a leader on top of a stack of specialists:

A good graphic in its day, I’d rather see it as a comb, where there is no implied hierarchy other than that between the leader and the specialists (or, said another way, between accountability and influence):

Also note the connection, or the open channel, between the many specialists and the leader. In todays creative space, an idea can come from anyone. In my experience, the one with the idea is often the best person to champion it through to the end. Any of these people can be that champion.
It just depends on the project, concept, opportunity, or challenge.

Reflections on Silverton

 

Looking down the gut from the traverse 
at your friend who just pushed off
you can see the color in his jacket
until he moves his weight
for his first turn and then disappears
into a burst of white smoke— 
reappearing as he transitions
through his swirling wake
and disappears again.
