[...] Our next visit was to Techcrunch then Yahoo! The TC Ranch was not what I expecting… no horses or cowboys (generalization? probably!) but inside (even though it was very early) there was a lingering buzz of the start of another day of hot-off-the-press journalism. We met the team who ran Crunchbase and the Techcrunch core products. As Heather Harde was speaking, I sensed a presence behind us. Peering over my left shoulder, there stood the Man Giant himself, Mike Arrington! He gave us advice on how to deal with blogs and getting PR coverage, but kept it brief because he knew that we were there to pitch to him. Great guy! Great advice! Some of the Seedcamp teams got some great coverage. [...]

I guess there are many much more horrible names…and you should know that good names are already taken.

By: Mircea @ MyTestBox.com

Mircea @ MyTestBox.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 21:17:51 +0000

It comes from “”uber (german “above” and used in english sometimes too) and “view” (vu).
I think it’s a clean nad easy to remember name…how about Zooomr?? And other names like these??

uberVU has Romanian founders and team but they incorporated the company in London, UK. Business decision.

It’s great to hear news on UberVU. I can’t wait to get my hands on a commercial license or something. Marketers will love this tool.

True. TechCrunch is presenting a closed-beta company as the innovator and leader in this space, when others have been openly offering this for quite some time already.

Vladimir — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:38:47 +0000

Not true. We told Michael we are from Romania but because we have a UK company he probably thought it is better to say UK. Nothing to be ashamed of…

coComment does not only aggregate user comments: you can also track a conversation based on it’s URL, and soon also track related conversations from FriendFeed, Digg, ……

For sure, being able to aggregate the conversations from FaceBook would be great. But this is definitely not an open platform and user content is kept in hostage there

Vladimir Oane, the founder, is Romanian citizen currently living in London afaik. Indeed he developed uberVU with a Romanian team as he owns a small webshop down there (Metromind).

There’s nothing to be ashamed of

You nailed it completely. This will be a huge player in the business world so that marketers can keep track of conversations taking place across the web. When a business sees they have no comments on their blog but then finds out there are 15 on Twitter and 35 on FriendFeed, that is precious information.

I’ll be interested to see how this shakes out and works into the various blogging platforms. I don’t necessarily care about everything aggregating on their (uberVu) website, but I do think that content needs to make it back to the original source.

[...] Michael Arrington at TechCrunch can’t wait, weighing in with a potted history of those who have gone before in their attempts to make sense of the chaos: “This is an area that startups have experimented with for years, either aggregating by user or by URL. CoComment was an early attempt at aggregating unique user comments across sites (Disqus, SezWho, JS-Kit, Intense Debate and BackType are more recent examples). Less has been done on aggregating discussions around a specific story or URL, but FriendFeed’s API allows publishers to pull in specific FriendFeed comments on a story, and Quotably has tried to aggregate Twitter discussions (it is now deadpooled).” [...]

why would it be shameful?

By: Christophorus

Christophorus — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 12:56:36 +0000

UBERVU is Bucharest (Romania) based, not London based. I suppose that was shameful for them to admit they are Romanians.

Great to see UberVU getting some well deserved attention. Met them at Seedcamp. Cool guys from Romania living in London, very determined to do whatever needs doing to make it a success.

Been testing the product for some time now. It really does solve a problem for PR & marketing guys & geeks obsessed with the question of where their writings pop-up or echo on the web.

Still some rough edges, but nothing that couldn’t be sorted out.

Another new service of comment aggregation we have launched last week is commentino.com. We are using a unique client we have developed that adds the following features:

-publish happens immediately, within one second.
-comments are “signed”. no one can claim they are you.
-works on any web site, even it does not have a commenting system
-you can add tags to your comments
-you can be selective – share some of your comments and don’t share other, or use more than one profile.

I think that the variety of services in this space gives the user more choice on his comment aggregation solution.
