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.

How we got this thing off the ground.
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):
