The Service
After signing up on Popego, users can add their usernames from other social networks, such as YouTube, Twitter and FriendFeed. Popego then creates a customized list of tags and recommends content based on users' activity on other social networking sites. Users can further customize their interest feeds by specifying the sites from which they wish to receive content and using sliding equalizers or "love this" and "hate this" buttons to rate content.TechCrunch50: TC50: Popego Tailors the Social Graph...

"The Web is becoming more noisy, it is very hard to keep up, so in some way the only way to explore the Web in the future is if the Web knows us and tries to filter it."—Emiliano Kargieman, Popego co-founder and CEO"What we envision is that there is a new dimension of interests that emerges over the social graph, you can call it the interest graph."—Popego founder Santiago SiriTechCrunch50: TC50: Popego Tailors the Social Graph...
