Kutano Flashes at New York's Time Square

Yes, Kutano has done what other little browser add-ons only dream- flashing its hot new interface all over the screen at the glamorous "Crossroads of the World". While some of you may have been lucky enough to actually catch this 'spectacle' in real time, we also made sure we caught it on camera for your continued viewing pleasure =).

This occasion calls for a number of things... a blog, a tweet, a download (?), and... a metaphor. Broadway and 7th (the two giant streets this screen sits at the junction of) lead to a mash-up of lights, people, ads and traffic. And on a more abstract level, they also lead to a mash-up of interactions and thoughts (sound like Twitter?) which are both used to create and understand new ideas. In fact, I would argue that almost all new products/ideas/etc are first understand as mash-ups of existing ideas... if you disagree you can take it up with me in Kutano ;).
But definitely in the case of Kutano, our team has already seen a number of people on Twitter use "mash-ups" to understand what Kutano is and how to use it. Here are a few of the more common ones:
Kutano = Stumble-Upon/Digg + Twitter
Kutano = Twitter Search + Web Page
Kutano = Discussion forum + Twitter
Kutano = ? + ?
What do you think?

  1. Glad I ran across this info. I had limited Katano to only Twitter but it looks like I can mash it down the line of networks, a powerful powerful action.
