Announcing a new project

Hey everyone, just wanted to post a quick update on what I’ve been up to lately as well as a few things I’m excited about.

First up, I’m announcing a new project that I’ve been working on with Adam Kopec, a brilliant designer and fellow VaynerMedia employee. It’s called Discovery. Here’s what it looks like:

Update: If you’d like to be notified when Discovery is released, you can sign up here.

Discovery will be a small part of a larger project that Adam and I are working on called Tackle Box. Using Tackle Box, web folk will be able to create a custom dashboard that organizes all of the web tools we use everyday like 0to255, border-radius.com, and Fillerati. Think visual bookmarking meets the 37signals Launchpad. You’ll also be able to find the best tools from around the web that you haven’t yet discovered. We’re really excited about it and can’t wait to show it to you guys.

Next up, I wanted to share a few things that I’m really excited about. First is my friend Caleb Brown’s recently launched tea blog. Tea drinkers, take note. Caleb’s doing some exciting stuff that’s catching the eyes of a lot of important people in the tea world.

Second is a newly relaunched service called Readability. Once upon a time, it was a simple bookmarklet that removed the distracting elements of any article so you could focus on the content. Now, it’s a service that takes a spin off of Instapaper and pays publishers for creating content. It has a very interesting payment model that content creators should definitely be paying attention to in the next few months.

That’s all for now, but stay tuned for more updates regarding Tackle Box and Discovery. Hope all of you are doing well.
