RebelMouse Review – My First Thoughts

An article by Malhar Barai

We had talked much about it in one of the twitter chat few weeks back & had decided to review RebelMouse as soon as I get a look at it . Since the guys are still in beta, I had registered and waited for their invitation, which I got it today morning.

RebelMouse Review

As a big lover of social media tools and since it was setup Paul Berry (ex CTO Huffington Post), I pounced upon the opportunity to review it and here are my quick first thoughts:

What is RebelMouse?

RebelMouse is in a nutshell social content aggregation tool which allows you to connect your Twitter, Facebook account & show its content on a single splash page. Your tweet will appear as short articles on the splash page making it go beyond that 140 char limit.

Pros:

1. Easy registration, just link with your Twitter id
2. Clear interface where you get a visual treat of the twitter, facebook feed
3. Nice dashboard, allowing to link multiple social platforms – Twitter, Facebook
4. Choice of themes
5. Allows to add self-curated content – links, posts, images
6. Image Album creation
7. This is what I liked the most. ‘Freezing’ content – The ability to highlight content.

Cons:

1. Looks like Twylah look-alike

Verdict:

Nice to see someone combining the power of Tumblr, Twylah, Scoop.it into one platform. I look forward to using it more often.
