Infogami seems to be another online web page creator. It’s another YCombinator startup (obligatory reference to Paul Graham, Reddit, Web 2.0, so forth), and it sounds like it’s merged with Reddit.
Exactly why the merge with Reddit is such a good thing, I’m not sure, but I’m interested to find out more.
It’s an interesting product; I imagine that it will be used. I have an infogami page (albeit a minimal one) set up, just to check it out. It’s easy and intuitive, given that it’s free I don’t see why people wouldn’t use it… unless they object to the Google Ads, but given that Infogami needs to eat, too, I don’t think we can begrudge them that. ;-)
I’m still wondering why? I mean, why now? “Blogs” are the buzzword, and we have both Google and an independent startup coming out with products to create simple, ordinary web pages. It’s a good idea, I think. I imagine that this may attract some folks who do want a web presence, but aren’t interested in writing something new every day. If nothing else, it will be an interesting trend to watch.
