But Brier’s espresso sipping is apropos for a different reason. The Barbarian Group veteran, founder of Brand Tags, and No. 59 on Fast Company’s Most Creative People list is taking me through his new startup, Percolate, which, as Brier explains, is all about coffee.
Ok. I’m listening.
Percolate, currently in its “double secret alpha” version, is a blogging platform that provides curated content for you to write about. The service taps into your RSS and Twitter feeds, culls content based on your interests—the stuff that “percolates up”—and then offers you the ability to share your thoughts on the subject with friends. “We’re trying to make it easy for anyone to create content,” Brier says, “to take away from the frustration of starting at that blank box and trying to figure out what to say.”
So, literally nothing to do with coffee then.
“We want to make it easier to clog up the web with masturbatory and poorly-written pap that literally no one wants to read and everyone else is already writing about. Please give us at least twenty million dollars to accomplish this task.”
