Swurl

About

Swurl was started by 2 dudes in San Diego, Ryan and Jonathan. We have been working all our nights and weekends on Swurl for the past year and are now very happy to release Swurl to everyone. We hope you enjoy it.

This is just the start of Swurl, with your support we hope to make many awesome improvements. Feel free to post your suggestions.

FAQ

1. What is Swurl?

   Swurl is a place to bring all the things you do online together to share in a blog-like format.

2. Why should I use Swurl?

   Because you do a lot of interesting stuff all over the web and it's too much of a pain to manually post it on your blog. With Swurl you just do your stuff and Swurl automatically brings it together to share. Swurl makes sharing effortless.

3. What web sites does Swurl support?

   Every week we will be supporting more and more sources. Send us an email if there is a source you would like added. Here are the sources we support so far:

4. How do I see my YouTube, Amazon, or Pandora stuff?
   Swurl posts the following...

   • YouTube - Favorite and uploaded videos (Click Favorite)
   • Amazon - Wishlist and reviewed products
   • Pandora - Bookmarked songs (Menu > Bookmark > Song)
5. How much does it cost?

   Swurl will always be free. We plan to post some ads later to help pay for things, but we will do it in a way where you and your friends will never see them. The awesome thing is you never need to worry about the costs of running your web site, and all revenue goes towards making your Swurl better.

6. How do I delete comments?

   Just double-click the name and the comment will be deleted. We plan to support a comment system with a wiki-like open philosophy. Therefore anyone can write a comment and anyone can delete a comment. All comments are tracked. If you hover over the name you will see a tooltip with the date/time of the comment and the IP address of the writer.

   We want to believe comments are way too valuable to be restricted. We hope we can improve the problems of open commenting instead of requiring everyone to register to comment. We will be adding more wiki-like comment management features and optional restrictions in the future.
