Facebook. Twitter. LinkedIn. Pinterest. RSS. Blogs. News. Hulu. Flickr. NetFlix.Email. That other Email. That other Twitter account.
There's a lot of information out there and it's not easy to aggregate, organize or share it with the people who may be most interested in it. You have to log into and out of accounts and applications, scan various news feeds and spend precious time emailing, tweeting or sharing information with different people. It can be time consuming, inefficient and overwhelming.
But a group of Cincinnatians are working to change that through a new iPad app they're developing called Semblee.
Semblee is being designed as an intuitive application that allows users to access all their social and other web-based accounts in one place, and with a swipe of a finger, share text, pictures, news or videos with individuals or groups.
"What makes Semblee different from other products is its unique User Interface (UI) and the way it displays information," says Semblee co-founder Geoff Stevens, also co-owner of
Element SEO. "Semblee is a social combinator, meaning it brings together social media accounts, rss feeds, online coupons, email and more into a single UI. This unique UI makes content sharing both simple and fun."
Semblee is a creation of six partners with various backgrounds, from marketing and SEO and web design to business development and software design.
Rob Smith, Stevens' co-owner at Element SEO, came up with the initial concept of Semblee.
"It was kind of like a lightning bolt. He came up with the idea, and what it was going to look like," Stevens says.
Semblee is working with a contractor to develop the application with plans to unveil a demo at the
CincyTech annual meeting Nov. 15 at the Duke Energy Center. Semblee and CincyTech are also working on an early stage financing deal that should be announced soon, Stevens says.
Current plans are for a limited beta launch; a fuller version for the iPad is planned for next spring, Stevens says. Later, Semblee will be available on other platforms. Interested in being a beta tester? Go to
