Featured in July this year on TechCrunch, Brizzly is a simple way to experience the social web, a wide.ly promised Twitter Reader from the same people who developed Google Reader. They say, it is coming soon from Thing Labs.

Twitter is a phenomenon indeed, which Europeans still do not fully understand. It gave birth do few dozens of start-ups. Probably few billion dollars were invested in all the satellites.

A propos, brizz.ly was just bought on 29th of September 2009 (just three weeks ago 😉 by  Ryan Holmes of Canadian InvokeMedia). The same Ryan reserved briz.ly. Brizly.com goes to brizzly.com of course. So, do you think they will use .com or .ly?

Now LOL and search Google for "brizz". The first hit leads to a definition on UrbanDictionary:

Brizz:
1) a blow job
2) to give a blow job
3) see Ryan Burke

Who would name a company like that?

  2. Wrong.ly enough, brizz.ly dropped in 2010 and someone registered it in 2012:
