Redux Launches, Bringing Our Addiction to the Masses
December 1st, 2009 by KPBrown
Today is the big day. Our favorite real-time online media streaming, Twitter and Facebook feed importing, work day killing, source for addictive entertainment the web – Redux is announcing that their ground-breaking friend-sourced online media service, Redux.com, is moving out of closed private Beta, dropping the velvet rope, and opening the Redux addiction to the masses. We couldn’t be more thrilled, as the Redux team has a great service on their hands that has generated a ton of cool buzz and built an incredibly strong community. Also, we couldn’t be more terrified for the world’s economy now that Redux has been unleashed.
Head over to the Redux blog to check out this great blog post, “The Redux Manifesto”, written by Redux Founder and CEO David McInstosh: http://blog.redux.com/index.php/2009/12/01/the-redux-manifesto/
With this public launch, the entire world now has access to:
- Friend-Sourced online media fed in a real-time stream to each user only by their friends and those who share their interests – constantly fresh, completely personalized.
- Innovative Redux TV Mode that allows users to watch their personal Redux stream like a television, passively entertained by great online media fed to them by their friends
- Twitter and Facebook feed importing, bringing users’ online lives together and weeding out the boring status updates and blind links to serve up only the best online entertainment from their favorite social networks
- Highly interactive and engaging real-time, media-centered conversation unlike any other service on the web.
