Findings: Collect, share, discuss content; find news and views that count

Findings

Findings

Findings is a platform where you can collect, share and discuss any content that you find interesting, be it on your Amazon Kindle or on any website on the Internet.

You can import your Amazon Kindle Highlights easily to Find and start sharing with others. Apart from books, you can also select a certain passage that you like or even a sentence that touched a chord with you, and share them with your friends on Findings.

It is also an excellent way to know about new stuff that is worth knowing. Usually, we do not get time to browse through the Internet everyday to read intelligent content because we do not get time to. Findings is the sieve that allows only quality content to be shared. Even as a reader, you get to know much more from this one website than you would from multiple resources.

At Findings, you can share your updates with friends on other social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. You do not miss anything if you are on Findings, you only add up.

You can also see Trending Books, books that are liked and shared by the community members of Findings. You can explore the profiles and library of other users.

With a Twitter-like style of ‘Following’, ‘Follow’, and not so Twitter-like ‘Findings’ and ‘Copied’, Findings lets you join other users  (kind of like a hand shake in the real world or a friend’s request in Facebook lingo).

On the homepage, you will find many extracts from book, journals, newspapers etc. tagged by the name of the user who found and shared it. That makes it incredibly easy to join a user if you like what he shared/shares.

Findings is a Betaworks company. Betaworks is company dealing with new mediums and runs bitly, News.me, Chartbeat and SocialFlow.
