Brizzly Opens To All. And Snatches Someone From Facebook.

Brizzly was first unveiled in private beta at our first CrunchUp event in July, so it's only appropriate that today, the day of our next CrunchUp, it's being opened to the public. Now, to be clear, the product is still technically in beta, but that's only so the team at Thing Labs can keep experimenting with new ways to make Brizzly even better. For those who have not had the opportunity to try Brizzly yet, it's a web app that serves as a way to interact with both Twitter and now Facebook . It has advantages over Twitter's regular website because it shows pictures and videos inline, and they actually did lists (which they called Groups) before Twitter. Now that Twitter has rolled out that functionality, Brizzly has integrated it. Perhaps more importantly, Brizzly also offers as one-click way to do the old-school way of retweeting. You know, the "RT" way.
