STARTUP DETAILS:
Company Name: Fasteagle
20-word Description: Web Interface allowing easy navigation across hundreds of the most popular and useful websites, along with a complete set of embedded search tools and content discovery options.
CEO's 100-word Pitch: Fasteagle is more than a website. It's actually a wealth of quality sites under one roof (selected and categorized by our editorial team), based on their current popularity and relevancy for a typical Internet user. It makes a perfect startpage for people looking for a straightforward alternative to rss/feeds/gadgets aggregators or mashups. Instead, Fasteagle loads the original source content inside the main window of a slick interface, making it easy for the users to jump from site to site, switch categories or search for anything. We're working also to offer personalization options and niche variations of Fasteagle, so in the short term you can expect locals and topic-specific versions of Fasteagle.
Mashable's Take: Fasteagle is positioned as a sort of startpage that, instead of placing content in custom feeds and the like, displays site material - be it Google News, CNN, Digg, or a widget-centric platform like Netvibes - as it is intended to be viewed. But it seems more apt to describe it as a browser within a browser, so to speak.
If you're interested in consuming various popular websites quickly, and in their own unique frame, Fasteagle is in fact a very expedient way in which to do so. Ordinarily, the typical Web user might customize their favorite browser(s) with bookmarks and things to read news, use a mapping service, or watch video clips at a click of the cursor. That's a widely accepted process of daily data consumption, yes? But if you're curious to take it a slightly alternate way - perhaps do it old school and venture from website to website, one at a time, Fasteagle turns out to be a nice change from current options.
