The differentiation happens on the Stribe network service, which allows a site’s community to interact with other communities on all Stribe-enabled sites. Moving forward, the company plans to open its API for website developers and provide more premium modules. The company describes itself as a new, multidimensional social layer interface which brings together local communities in a globally shared environment.

LeWeb: Storific riffs on hyperlocal, real-time conversation thro [FRANCE] Another startup pitching on their home turf is Storific, which is all about getting companies and customers talking to each other using the de facto social media avenues we know as Twitter and Facebook. Watch the Storific pitch at 00:22:30 It’s your classic ‘opt-in for great rewards’ model that drives the plethora of email newsletter services which most companies still rely on as their mainstay of direct communication with consumers.

Founders Michael Cohen (ex-Netvibes) and Gregoire Cachet say Storific will offer both freemium and white label versions of the service.
FriendBinder – Not Just Another Lifestreamer At first glance FriendBinder, the UK based start up from the midlands, looks just like another ‘me too’ lifestream site. Plug in your social networks including Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Last FM and RSS feeds and watch a live stream of all your friends information. Use the update function like a Twitter client to update your Twitter and or Facebook account. So far, so familiar. However, play a little longer and you will find some nifty features. Using the search function at the top of the page, I can search for any word (not just hashtag) that interests me, in this example, The Next Web. The search facility allows me to search for all mentions of the topic (like a Twitter search) or just my friends across the networks I have connected. The trending topics function is also a cool feature to help me see what my friends are talking about and also who my friends are talking about or talking to.
