The great part about it is YOU get to pick the flavor!
That's right - Mashable will now offer a custom-tailored experience. Topics YOU like; what YOU choose to follow.
It's their new Social Layer..................Mashable Follow.
Lip-licking yummy?
Here's the goodness:
- Curate your news - Get what you like, tune out the rest.
- Follow topics & people of interest - Quora-esque.
- Connect with others sharing your interests.
- Social Share simplified - A "Mashable-meme!"
- Earn badges for sharing - Kinda like Foursquare.
- EASY - Login-in with your Facebook or Twitter account.
- Promote your social media accounts with a Mashable profile page.
Ya gotta check out the short video:
So, their goal is to change the way we stay in the know, eh? I think they'll be successful!
Mashable Follow is in private beta right now. I requested my invitation - you can too.
I have a heart-on for Mashable Follow. Do you??

Dave, Great to see you here! You know I love things that ROCK — I’ll have to go check my Google News set up, and Darren’s post. All these groovy tools coming out now — so fun! Mashable follow seemed pretty easy & useful. I’m going to watch over the next few days and post about it soon. Did you sign up? ~Keri

This is a really timely and topical post, Keri. As usual from this camp! I think it was Darren Rowse of ProBlogger who said only yesterday (or the day before: Fuddled brain syndrome) that many people had frozen out RSS which to all intents and purposes seemed to me the most logical way to ingest news relevant to your niche. But Mashable Follow sure looks worth at least a dip. Taking it back to RSS but in a super-easy way – have you ever tried customising a Google News section featuring a digest of everything that’s tasty to you? http://googlenewsblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/create-and-share-custom-news-sections.html It’s not new but it absolutely rocks.
