A New Way To Browse For Content - Fichey

Disclaimer: This is not going to be for everyone.

But if you like finding information in a non-linear way and understanding what's "hot" right now, Fichey may be for you.

fichey.comFichey.com launched yesterday [ TechCrunch ]. It has a new approach to the growing trend of web surfing that has been popularized by sites like  Del.icio.us, Digg, Downfly, Reddit and StumbleUpon. What makes Fichey unique is its simplicity and beauty. It's 100% flash based, so the controller is ridiculously simple to use... two buttons gives you control over the flow of content. You can select which of the social bookmarking sites you want to surf through and it serves up the most popular content in snapshot format. Double clicking any image takes you to the original page for detailed review. It will be a regular stop for me each morning. I may find something I missed. I like that.

Step back in time as well.  

What I like about most about this is the ability to go back in time to see what was popular on any given day. Right now the history only goes back to July 5th, when Fichey began archiving, but in Internet time, that's an eternity.

The randomness of the information may be too much for most, but if you can quickly skim for what is important to you, you can see what others think is "hot" very quickly.

Took me a bit to understand it, but once I got the hang of it, it's great.  Thanks.  Nice way to feel like I have some feel for what's what.
