Or so TechCrunch seems to think. Reading TechCrunch for the past month I have noticed one thing, they have found a way to link to their story about Bit.ly Now almost everyday.
Bit.ly is definitely an interesting service. The company has raised $2 million to create a service that dead simple to duplicate – so they must have something up their sleeve!
The theory TechCrunch is pushing is that Bit.ly is going to create a news service to rival websites such as Digg, called Bit.ly Now. Currently they have a Twitter account called Bit.ly Now that tweets the most clicked Bit.ly link of the hour. I have been following this account for the last month and have actually found it useful. Although most of the links are irrelevant to me, I have found two things that I would have missed if it were not for Bit.ly Now.
I am very interested to see where Bit.ly goes with this concept. This month I am actually about to begin a project that will integrate with Bit.ly’s services through their API.
Stay tuned for much more on Bit.ly in the coming weeks.
