What is Grabbit?

Well, it’s still under wraps, so we can’t tell you a lot…yet. But, here are a few tidbits to help feed your curiosity. (Get on the list to try it out by sending an email to the address to the left under "Want it?")

Grabbit is all about the real-time stream. Twitter, Facebook, and many other web services have streams. Too many streams full of too much stuff, and pretty soon you are totally flooded and overwhelmed. The stuff you want is too hard to find. Ugh. The solution? It’s Grabbit to the rescue!

Your attention is a valuable commodity. You shouldn't let people waste it. That's why we created Grabbit. We think Grabbit will help you filter, organize, manage, and use all your online information more effectively and efficiently. And have some fun while you're at it!
