Amplify

Amplify is a New York City based start-up founded in 2009.

Amplify is a social blogging and curation service that enables people to spark conversation around news, thoughts and ideas they want to share. Using Amplify’s proprietary browser add-on, users can easily clip, share and add their take on text, images, videos and URLs they find on the web. Additionally, they can microblog directly from Amplify or write full blog posts.

In addition to PCs, Amplify’s web clipping technology supports iPhone, iPad & Android phones.

Users can setup everything they share on Amplify to be autoposted to Twitter, Facebook, Buzz, Posterous, Tumblr, Friendfeed and more.

Amplify is a privately funded company that has not yet raised any venture capital.
