Pugmarks.me is a contextual information discovery

What is context?

  • You – have interests. You are deeply interested in a few things. You like a few other things as well.
  • You are embedded in a network of people, organizations and things. You follow a few people, who influence what you read. You also influence people that follow you. Your network has its interests.
  • You do different things every day. You read an article, land on a news site, search something, and even look up a linkedin profile.
Context is what you are, context is your social embedding, context is what you are doing – now.


What is contextual information discovery?
Can we recommend the most useful information in each context?
  • Say, you begin the day. Can we show you what just went past your network – prioritized by whats important for you?

  • Say, you land on TechCrunch. Can we help you decide on what you should be reading there?
  • Say, you are just reading that article on Responsive Design. Can we bring relevant articles already endorsed by people you trust, to where you are?
  • Say, you are just checking out Reid Hoffman’s profile. Can we suggest talking points that’d be interesting to him?
  • Say, you are attending the Product Conclave. Can we bring you news that matters to this group of people?
Pugmarks.me helps the right information reach you, in the right context – endorsed by people you trust.
