The first news I had of Popego , said that Santiago Siri had reached Argentina locate a site in the top 50 in the world in the prestigious contest TechCrunch . I was surprised, I was overjoyed to hear about how good it was positioning a fellow website globally.

What is it? How did he do? How much does it cover? Is it business? Were the first questions I did.

For starters, the site has a name that describes it from head to toe: Ego Pop.
In this new (old?) Social network era, the fluid communication between people, contacts, references, the navigator is full of sites and services to feed his ego. His "I". Your photos, videos, stories, comments, opinions and votes. The brainchild of the nuclear site is the various services that are subscribed to the egocentric navigator and concentrate them in one Autoblog.

But that is safe? and my privacy?

Yes yes yes ... it is certain, stay quiet lady. Two things about privacy and that there is , especially in teenagers and new internet-social tribes seeking emerging popularity is in the exhibition and second, the site's brother Liniers public only accesses user profiles, without asking for username and password for other services.
If you have a Flickr or Picasa album (or both!) I know you can set the scope of privacy desired that the album is public or restricted to persons you designate. If the photos are public, then you can you say to Popego "Hey Popego!, Learn more about my profile on my Public Album Mar del Plata".
Similarly, we can tell that you review our services Popego videos from YouTube, Blog, Reader, Delicious, Twitter and many other services (Facebook coming soon).

And that's not all.

With all the ball Data tags of keywords, image and multimedia material the site of the orange smiley face is not satisfied. He wants more. And it goes for more.
Personally I found the idea to buenisima there to the autoblog with my items for various services concentrated in one place.
But it seems that the boy of the lens was given to advance and improve the idea. Maybe that's the break to get to be one of the 50 best websites of 2008 .

Popego takes our "likes" (taste), processed our profile and provides us with new data. Of course, when we subscribe our services in turn was saying "Hey Popego, I like reading science fiction, my language is Spanish, my tags are Computer Science and Art, I read news about movies." Then he is responsible for reviewing and stir in the network to find feeds, news, images and videos that are similar to our tastes.

Popego becomes a personal assistant, who tries to understand, how we are, what we like, what does not and makes juggling for King, sorry, I meant for the surfer.
