Well, this was long due. If you are running Chrome, go fetch the Peer Belt app at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/iahojfhilhgdbiopdgppbgainpgpafho

It offers one more easy way of getting to you Peer Belt history. Once you get the app in Chrome, Peer Belt's icon becomes available on each new Chrome tab. Clicking it will lead you to the accumulated Peer Belt history or the new, redesigned Peer Belt site in case you do not have the client components installed on your Mac or Windows.

Would appreciate your comments/ratings in Facebook, the Chrome Store, or Twitter.

Happy information hunting!

BTW: The app steps on a basic API functionality. We will be publishing other API related work in the next couple of weeks.

Among many other things, like fundraising and applying for tech events for instance, we got busy improving Peer Belt.

The upcoming release will fix things broken by Google's Https when you happen to the logged into Google+. The applications make it easy for you to be logged in more these days. Sometimes I wonder how people perceive the lock icon when they are logged in, searching in Google. They must be well aware with every search they are voluntarily shrinking the Universe of data Google can offer..

I still remember a joke I read in a book long time ago. Everybody has a view horizon. When it starts shrinking, it sooner or later collapses to a point of view. This is why most people refer to a point of view and often.

Nowadays we may find ourselves cut off of a needed and desired information thanks to past behavior. The lock and "protecting" my search traffic from others does not make sense, does it? Happy to hear your comments on the subject.

Going back to Peer Belt, the Https, filtering, and user request let to an experimental support for DuckDuckGo. Gabriel's search engine has good quality results. People move to it and it is my personal privilege to announce experimental Peer Belt integration with it.

If Peer Belt user, you should have received the latest via the automatic updates.

If you happen to be a Windows XP plus IE 8.0 user, an updated shell library may have broken the automatic updates. Removing the dependency on the Microsoft component with the next update. Until then, simply reinstall the Peer Belt. Grab the latest package from here http://beta.peerbelt.com/.>

Oct 9th, '11 seemed a good day for sending early invites. PeerBelt is now on Mac. Almost. More to follow on the release schedule.

All the pieces needed for the roll out are here and appear to be in good shape. Except for one: there is no company tied certificate to sign the Safari extension with. While Peer Belt had to join the Safari developer program couple of weeks earlier, there is a good chance the certificate becomes available next week. If not, the first few invites will have a Safari extension signed with an individual developer certificate. Will keep you posted.

Just posted a short note on my personal blog. While it resides on the personal blog, it does refer to Peer Belt. As Peer Belt follower, I thought you might find the post informational. Cheers,

We are to announce a product update September 8th at Pitch '11 in San Francisco. Join us! 

It has been some time sense the last update. The growing user base lets improve the product and deliver better experience to all of us. There were fixes and performance improvements pushed out. One more update is due end of this week. 

The most significant piece of news though is that Peer Belt is moving to Mac OS. Portions of the product have already been transitioned. Way to go until all the pieces fit well together, but it is a work in progress and there is going back.

In few weeks we will make a formal announcement about how to be among the first Peer Belt users on Mac OS! Stay tuned!

Peer Belt update was released yesterday. The update fixes an issue introduced by changes to the plugin infrastructure in Chrome 10. Without the update, visits to web sites may not be correctly registered and made available in Peer Belt. The Peer Belt scheduled task on your Windows machine will take care of installing the update. If you should decide to force it, just run manually the scheduled task.

Peer Belt has just sent the first few group invites to this February product update, which happens to be the first update with Chrome support. Though we are looking forward to your comments, we are not opening the beta entirely just yet. Being part of a group invite or getting introduced through a friend is the best way to get the beta software. This should not stop you from enrolling individually. We will send limited number of invites to people that signed up directly on Peer Belt's web site. Keep in touch!

The Team

We are a small team of engineers and designers. We are looking for people who can and want to build systems that matter and delight users.

It is dynamic. There is always a good new idea to explore, work with and ship to users.

We only hire self-starting, true builders and explorers. 

Purpose

It is surprising after all the years of Internet and organizing information online, how little is done organizing our own, personal information of interest.

We give everyone the power to properly organize what matters at an individual level. We want to foster information discovery by leveraging the combined knowledge of the individual social group. In the busy information overflow times we live in, we all rely on feedback from people we know and trust foremost, yet there is no system that does it in an implicit, non-intrusive way.

We look at undoing the damage done by aggressive search engine optimization and putting the end user in control of the information flow.

Apply now

We are looking for the most talented. We'd love to hear from you. Email us!
