We're so excited about this dream becoming a reality, so we're working very hard. Maybe too hard. Our designers are creating day and night to keep up with the developers' requests.That's probably why our senior designer, overloaded, just had a nervous break down.

How We Are Doing It : New Internet Trends
Broadband, AJAX, APIs, OpenSource, smart browsers, low cost servers have all come together at the right time for PeopleBrowsr.com. Smart browsers and AJAX give our developers the tools to rapidly respond to mouse clicks without always going back to remote servers.Facebook, Craigslist, Twitter, Tumblr and the guys at Google are inspiring us to use
RSS. RSS feeds provide a rich form of up to date content from real people. No longer do we have to rely on the media moguls or large websites for interesting data. The best and the coolest now comes from all of us - normal web users with something to say on the web.Google, Twitter, YouTube, and a small group of other leading web companies are releasing
The Development
We're finally ready to write code.The guys are having (mostly) great ideas - plus some truly strange ones - so we're continuing to brainstorm, draft, design and change.
We dream of creating something new and completely different from what already exists online. We're working hard to match the newest technologies to the users' needs.
PeopleBrowsr Elements
PeopleBrowsr is going to be:
- A PeopleWiki
- A social network aggregator
- A set of tools to interact with friends
Looking For A Team
We've done a lot of googling to find developers who are best in class with AJAX mapping, video streaming and content management.And they're picking up the pieces of the puzzle and working on shaping the site.
Where do they come from? All over the world; Canada, Italy, India, United States, Germany, UK, Russia, Israel and of course, Australia. Here they are:
The Project : a Multitask Tool
PeopleBrowsr will gather information in two ways:
- Inside the user's garden, displaying information coming from the user's friends; friends' tweets, status updates and blog posts all together, in one place.
- Outside the user's garden, up-popping public feeds from random users.
This Is How Everything Started
We are big social network users - yeah, say geeks - and our friends are too.
Managing all the different networks and getting in contact with all the people we know was becoming hard : too many log-in to do, too many URL and pages to navigate and too many news missed, just because all that stuff is hard to manage and time is never enough. Frustrating.
