In most circumstances, you wouldn’t talk about the latest WordPress release to your mom.  You also wouldn’t want to broadcast the pics from your best friend’s bachelor party to your boss.  In the real world, we use filters to make conversations contextual.  In the voyeuristic and very public world of social media though, there are often no ways of making these distinctions.

Pip.io is a social network that, according to its CEO Leo Shimizu, “is based on the core principles of privacy”.  Pip.io does indeed aggregate from Twitter, Facebook, RSS and YouTube in the same way FriendFeed does, but it allows you to broadcast messages to only certain people within your social circle.  Messages can be assigned “targets”, allowing our conversations to hit with more relevance and less noise.

Between email and public feeds, “There’s all this in between that’s missing”.  Learn how Pip.io can help bring back contextual conversations from their CEO Leo Shimizu and CTO David Chen.
