Sneak Peek: XYDO At SF New Tech | SF New Tech
When serial entrepreneurs Cameron Brain (built and sold 3 web startups prior to this one) and Eric Roach (built and sold a brokerage company to Morgan Stanley, worked with & invested in several early-stage startups) met through a mutual connection, they hit it off right away. The two teamed together and produced a blog called the RoachPost.com that focused on their own operational experiences as entrepreneurs – stuff like building a board, raising capital for startups and so on. They quickly realized that they didn’t want to write a blog, but the time that they spent producing content, promoting it, and building their readership set them on course towards an idea that would eventually become XYDO . Given the sheer amount of content that’s published on a daily basis, combined with the number of different channels through which you can consume it, the 2 co-founders felt that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to separate the signal from the noise.
Team XYDO has been hard at work on XYDO , our drive toward reinventing News on a truly social level.

XYDO Preparing Personalized News Hub With Quora Flavor
Continuing the mantra that the third wave of the Web is one of personalized news, streams and social experiences, XYDO is on the verge of launching what they call a personalized news network that claims to show you only the news you find interesting from all the friends and people you follow across the social Web. XYDO claims to learn what you like, and feels a lot like an intelligent mix between Digg and Quora , tapping into your social graph to discover the most frequently shared articles, spotting trending topics, and presenting the opportunity to follow subjects, sites and users. Founded by Eric Roach ( @veroach ) and Cameron Brain ( @cameronbrain ), the app pulls links shared from your Twitter, automatically assigns the links categories ( much like Socialmedian once did ), and tabulates shares from your network to assign a point value which brings items to the top.
