Meshly takes after twitter, in that you can send your posts to the site via instant messaging. It´s easy to do as they give you step by step directions through your im client. Meshly is about uploading links. You choose which category to put it into, and if you don´t think it fits, you can create your own. The idea is that communities will grow around people with similar interests through their link categories. You can also vote and comment on links, working like digg. The posts with the most votes make it to the cover page for each content channel.
“Welcome to Meshly, the easiest, fastest way to post links to your personal space as well as stay in contact with like-minded community members!”
The new trend currently is media being sent through other means to sites, such as through your mobile or im, so this follows in this line. It takes the successful digg and the successful twitter and combines them in a way.
How will they monitor spam and inappropriate links? How will they make a profit from the site? There´s not much going on the site right now. How will they change this? Will people want to submit their links to Meshly if they´re already comfortable sending them to twitter? Why send links to Meshly instead of actually just posting them to digg or a similar site where the community is already established?
