TechCrunch reporter Sarah Perez recently highlighted a startup that aims to unify the open social web through an innovative application. This app combines both social and traditional media into one easy to use platform. Now, it’s easier than ever for users to get informed, be engaged and stay connected! The startup has attracted buzz for its innovative offerings and $23 million in seed funding from big name investors.
Sarah Perez Sarah has been a TechCrunch reporter since August 2011, after more than three years at ReadWriteWeb. Prior to her journalism career, she gained extensive experience in information technology across various sectors, including banking, retail, and software. She draws on her diverse experience to write smartly about the technological trends and startups that are reshaping our world.
The app has a “Performance Mode” toggle, which helps by preventing images from loading on timeline previews. This addition is focused mainly on decreasing the app’s resource use, making it attractive to efficiency-minded users. Some of these features are obviously doable from a technological perspective. Users won’t experience the full experience unless they click through each one individually in a web browser.
The startup is now funded by Czech Founders VC, Tensor Ventures and Automattic. Automattic, the parent company behind platforms such as WordPress.com, Tumblr, and Beeper. This commitment of financial support puts the startup on a firm footing for future growth as it moves ahead with creation of its new, broadly-applicable app.
