SoftLayer loves startups. The culture, the energy, the potential … It’s all good stuff. As you may remember from my 3 Bars 3 Questions<\/a> interview and our Teens in Tech<\/a> profile, one of the ways we support startups is through an incubator program that provides a phenomenal hosting credit and a lot of technology know-how to participating organizations.<\/p>\n

In San Francisco, one of the flagship programs we’re excited to be a part of is called PeopleBrowsr Labs<\/a>, a startup accelerator geared toward technology companies in the area. As you sit in the PeopleBrowsr office, the brilliance in the air is almost palpable … Young companies doing innovative things with everything they need to be successful at their disposal. One of the fringe benefits for participants in PeopleBrowsr Labs is that they’re actually rubbing elbows with the PeopleBrowsr<\/a> team as well … Which is almost worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Labs sponsorship, SoftLayer is also the infrastructure provider for PeopleBrowsr and its unbelievable data mine of information. They’ve got every tweet that’s been tweeted since early 2008, and they’ve been able to take that content and make sense of it in unique and interesting ways … And that’s why we stopped by for a visit this week. Last night, PeopleBrowsr officially launched Kred<\/a>, a dynamic and innovative social influence measurement platform, to a LOT of fanfare (see: TechCrunch<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In the midst of the launch-day craziness, we grabbed Scott Milener, PeopleBrowsr SVP of business development, to have him explain a little about Kred, what differentiates it from the other social influence measurements and what it means for users interested in engaging more effectively with their social networks. Check it out:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

With the clear success of the announcement, we want to send a shout out of congratulations to the PeopleBrowsr team. It looks like a phenomenal leap forward in understanding social engagement, and we know it’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what we’ll see coming out of the PeopleBrowsr office in the near future.<\/p>\n

If you feel a little jaded by the social influence measurements you’ve seen, Kred’s transparency and community-centricity should be refreshing: http:\/\/kred.ly<\/a><\/p>\n
