Brizzly was a third-party Twitter and Facebook interface. It was unveiled at one of TechCrunch's events in 2009[2] and was acquired by AOL in 2010.[3]
Its features included allowing users to create lists to organize followers,[4] showing user the full in-line links from URL shortening services and showing photos from photo sharing services.[5] It was described as FriendFeed for Twitter.[6]
On 28 October 2009, it released Facebook integration.[1] On 20 November 2009, the Brizzly team announced that it was in open beta. Prior to that, using Brizzly was by invitation only.[7]
On March 1, 2012, Brizzly announced it was shutting down at the end of the month in light of time commitments by developers to AIM-related work.[8]
