KiteDesk, which got its start as an Outlook-like add-on for enterprise users of Google Apps, received a major, more consumer-friendly redesign ahead of this week’s official launch. Now, the company is more focused on the broader vision of integrating multiple cloud services under one umbrella, and making the data they contain actionable. The platform lets you connect email messages, contacts… → Read More
Between your Google account(s), Facebook, LinkedIn, Salesforce, and whatever other services you’re hooked up to, there’s a good chance that a lot of the information you need on a daily basis isn’t stored in one place. Maybe it’s the address of a friend’s party (was that on Facebook or an email invite?), maybe it’s a key document you need for work (Google Docs or Dropbox?) — whatever the case… → Read More
It was only a year ago that I first wrote about Greplin, the “other half of search” for you online life. It’s an incredibly useful search engine that indexes your online email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Calendar, Dropbox and other stuff (22 services are currently supported). Greplin is a single search box for all of this, and it’s fast.
Until now, though, you had to use the HTML5 site for… → Read More

Late last year we first mentioned Y Combinator startup Greplin – it’s a startup that indexes your social stuff in the cloud, making all your Facebook, Gmail. LinkedIn, Google Calendar, Evernote, Twitter, Dropbox and just about everything else searchable. The easiest way to describe it is “the other half of search.”
They opened their doors to customers in February. The company won’t talk about… → Read More
Gmail is arguably the best web-based email client out there, but it’s far from perfect. Just navigating your inbox (particularly when it’s a big one) can be an exercise in frustration… and then there’s Gmail Search, which is just painful. Wait times of 30-40 seconds aren’t unheard of, to the point that it’s becoming the butt of jokes (what can you do in the time it takes to run a Gmail… → Read More
In February, we covered the social search service’s public launch and, mere days later, wrote about its closing a $4 million venture round backed by Sequoia.
Since then, Greplin has been rapidly expanding the social applications it can search and index, adding Yammer, Highrise, and Google Contacts last month to its already healthy set of networks and services. On top of these, you can authorize… → Read More
Greplin, the service that indexes and lets you search all of your online social stuff (Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, etc.), has just opened its doors to everyone. Earlier this week we reported on their new financing round from Sequoia Capital, and over the last couple of days they’ve let in everyone on the waitlist. And as of right now, you can use Greplin, too.
Why would you want to use Greplin? → Read More
This is timely given all the hand wringing this weekend over search innovation. Greplin, a search startup that we first covered last year, has raised a $4 million venture round from Sequoia Capital. Sequoia partner Greg McAdoo has also joined Greplin’s board of directors. Googler Peter Chane also participated in the round.
The company indexes and lets you search your online social stuff … → Read More
We are inundated with so many social streams that it is easy to forget where exactly we read something. For instance, there was a story earlier today on Twitter showing better clickthrough rates than Facebook. I know I saw it somewhere, but was it Twitter, Facebook, or in an email? It’s easy enough to search the open Web, but how do you search all of your personal information streams at… → Read More
There’s always something cool coming out of Y Combinator, but even so Greplin stands out from the crowd. It’s a personal search engine for all that data you keep locked away in the cloud. If you’ve used desktop search like spotlight, you’ll get Greplin right away. It’s like spotlight for your cloud data.
It’s dead simple to use. Sign up and authorize any number of social services for Greplin to… → Read More
