Slingpage Launches Innovative Social Browsing Platform

New Technology Lets You Instantly Share the Web Without Leaving Your Browser

ESTERO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Slingpage, creator of the first instant Web sharing application, today announced its public launch and the availability of its innovative social browsing platform. Slingpage empowers people to simply and instantly share and discover the Web. The company's browser extension enhances the Web experience by providing innovative tools for slinging (sharing) Web pages and facilitates real-time interaction with friends. Slingpage evolves link sharing and bookmarking into real-time social sharing.

With Slingpage, people can instantly sling any Web page directly to friends and followers with a single click, without leaving their browser. Slingpage fosters conversation around shared content through convenient in-browser chat and an innovative feature for annotating pages with personalized notes. Sling recipients are immediately notified of shared pages via a desktop slider containing the sender's name and invitation to view the page. With one click, they see the page and the note.

Slingpage offers instant Web sharing in two forms - Sling or Slingcast. Similar to email, Slings between friends are treated as private communications. Slingcasts provide Slingers with their own micro-blog, where the author creates a topical sling feed of their favorite Web pages and instantly distributes with concise text commentary to their subscribed audience.

"The trend towards an open, ubiquitous social Web poses a fundamental challenge to established social networks that are often walled gardens," said Slingpage CEO Peter Weinberg. "With Slingpage, the ability to comment and share is easy, fun and integrated into the browser - the application everyone uses to experience the Web - turning it into an opportunity for social sharing."

By simplifying sharing, Slingpage encourages collaborative filtering, where Slingers are both consumers and the conduit for sharing and re-sharing information. This filtering process results in relevant and timely content discovery for Slingpage's users.
