Page Sharing Service Bo.lt Lets You Copy, Edit And Share Almost Any Webpage
Summary
With $5 million in funding from Benchmark Capital, webpage sharing service Bo.lt launches today after about a year in private beta. Like a “Bit.ly on steroids,” the service lets you paste any URL into its copy engine or bookmarklet, creating a duplicate of the page on its servers. You can then share the page on Twitter or Facebook through its customizable URL and let other people edit or make changes which are tracked. Right now partners like Houseplans.com, Second Porch and Smart Destinations are all using Bo.lt to target web pages to customers. While the simple page-editing aspect of this is pretty awesome, co-founders Matthew and Jamie Roche have a grander vision, “We are building a true page sharing network, you should be able to share webpages the way you share stuff on YouTube and Flickr.” The service begins rolling out to early signups at 8am PST today, and a hundred interested TechCrunch readers can get priority access here.
