Yoono Launches “Buzz It” to Clip and Share Web Content

Yoono, a startup based in France that allows users to share websites and online articles with others much like StumbleUpon, has launched a new service called “Buzz It”. The new service is similar to what Grouptivity, Clipmarks and Share2Me already offer.

Buzz It is a browser applet that lets users capture text, links, images and video while they browse the web. Users can then use these clippings to post to blogs, social networks or just share it on their Yoono Buzzlog, which can then be made public or private. Yoono already offered browser suggestions as you visit various websites just like StumbleUpon, and is claiming to have more than 600,000 registered users. Yoono is also beefing up its social features and might transform into a full fledge social network, where users could come and share their findings-likings and dis-likings. According to Yoono CEO Pascall Josselin:

Yoono is a people aggregator, allowing everyone to capture and share personalized booklets of content along with their views, perspective and highlights…And, not only is It available from any browser, exportable to the PC, or sharable with others through RSS or email, data can also be printed, saved to the desktop, and published across their portfolio of online profiles, blogs, and networks.

Yoono will also be presenting at the Web 2.0 Expo, so you could know alot more about it there as well.
