Slingpage - Internap's newest managed/CDN win ?

from Tier 1 Research daily newsletter:

Some folks call it a sling blade server; Internap's newest managed/CDN win

Internap disclosed it is handling CDN and managed service duties for Slingpage, a promising social browsing platform currently in public beta. Slingpage is a young company, incorporated last August 2007. While walled-garden social networks are pretty common, Slingpage approaches the browser as the social network, involving the Web at large .....

Slingpage is a fun, simple way to discover new stuff and share it with your friends.

It's Slinging
There are a lot of good services for bookmarking links out there, but they all fall short when it comes to sharing. Sure, you can make lists of things you like, but there’s no real interaction with your friends.


Slingpage makes the leap from old-fashioned bookmarking to real-time social sharing. With Slingpage, you can instantly send any page you’re visiting directly to your friends and followers, with a single click, right from your browser. It’s a faster, funner way of sharing. We call it Slinging.

With Slingpage, you can browse pages other Slingers have shared, just like with other sites, but Slingcasts go one step further.

Then, when you discover a new cool page, you can instantly sling it to your friends, or add it to a Slingcast of your own.
