What is wow.ly?

Tools like Twitter, Facebook, and many, many others make our relationships, interests, and attention more public, but it isn't always easy to dig out the meaningful parts from the huge volume of social information we're all creating.

Wow.ly is an ever-expanding set of tools to help you discover, explore, and use the information hidden within the social media sites and services you already use. We offer you different ways to look at and use all of this information, helping you get more from these social services.

Wow.ly tools are created by Whitney McNamara and Kevin Marshall, who would love to hear any and all thoughts and suggestions you have.
conversationlist
A conversationlist is a Twitter list that transforms your attention into a tweetstream.

Every day it checks your Twitter account to see who you're talking to and about, and updates your conversationlist with the people that you're paying the most attention to: your followers can easily see what the people who influence you are saying on Twitter.
friendstatus
friendstatus Keeping up with ALL your friends content.

Friendstat.us compiles your various social network streams into one simple person-based view. It then gives you a handful of tools to consume, analyze, and interact with all that content.
fuzzypop
fuzzypop uses your social graph to help you deal with information overload.

fuzzypop will remind you of the good stuff you tag whenever enough of your social graph shows interest in it too. And of course you can also search and browse through all the stuff you and your friends have added at any time as well.
InstaPaperFeed
InstaPaperFeed automatically adds great content to your Instapaper account once a day.

You can set up either Twitter, Deilcious tags, or both as a source and InstaPaperFeed will pull links from your source and push them into your InstaPaper account once a day.
Hivemind
Hivemind shows you interesting people that you're missing on Twitter.

Tell hivemind a few people that interest you on Twitter, and it shows you the people that your target group all follow but you don't. Use the collective intelligence of your friends, acquaintances, and other interesting people to help guide your attention.
Pu.ly
Pu.ly is a simple email-to-twitter and back again system.

Pu.ly automatically monitors Twitter (about once every couple of minutes) for mentions of you, direct messages to you, and names of Twitter lists you are added to and then immediately sends you an email with the details (and lets you respond via email as well).
URIdata
URIData is a simple URI data web service.

It provides, when possible, the long URI, title, description, and keywords for a given short URI in a simple JSON format. It is also used behind the scenes for many of the other wow.ly projects.
