Silk, a Web app that lets users collect, sort and consume information in a structured way, is opening up to the world after attracting 10,000 users to its private beta.
Note: Silk is not to be confused with Amazon’s Silk, which is a mobile Web browser.
The Amsterdam startup behind the intelligent search and data visualization tool, which is backed by about $500,000 in seed funding from Atomico and others, won the startup competition at last year’s The Next Web Conference.
The platform lets users create ‘Silk sites’, introducing them to a new breed of online search and ways to visualize information and data.
This is a textbook example of the kind of service you need to test (or at least see it in action, also see video below) to fully grasp what it can do.
