Imagine if you were to mix StumbleUpon, MyBlogLog, and Myspace you would get very close to Streakr. Streakr is a community based toobar much like the well liked and (recently acquired by eBay) toolbar from StumbleUpon. It’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and that couldn’t be truer than with Streakr and Stumbleupon. If you like StumbleUpon you will Streakr, so why add another toolbar to your computer if StumbleUpon does everything that StumbleUpon does? The answer is that Streaker just does some things better. The back end of their forums and connecting with other streakrs are just better done. Stumble’s forums really feel like you are stumbling through communication while Streakr is straightforward and feels much like contacting members from MyBlogLog.
The personal pages leave a little to be desired and look a little too much like MySpace, I had issues uploading my picture for some reason however for the most part Streakr works as promised. Another downside I could find is the lack of categories, whether this was done for simplicity sake or not I cannot tell but I did miss a few categories that StumbleUpon had. Some of my friends had issues with installing yet another toolbar Despite the Categories and toolbar though I was able to find a plethora (yes I said plethora) of webpages and blogs that I had never seen on StumbleUpon. There also seemed to be better pages instead of spammy pages that StumbleUpon can display.
I really felt like I was using an early version of Stumble, clean, easy, and well cataloged content. I asked a few friends to try out Streakr and this is what I heard back.
In the end you add one more resource to your arsenal to find content and cool new websites, this one is definitely worth a look.
