via Launch Alert « Streamy Blog:

Mark your calendars!  We will be taking Streamy live on March 19, 2009.  Our small team has been working hard for a long time, and we think we’ve got a great product for you.  You’ll hear more from us before then!

Can’t believe it’s happening.  First GrandCentral.com finally launching as Google Voice?  Now this?  Big changes coming in my web habits.

Streamy updated their blog for the first time in about two month.  Still no word of a release date yet, just announcing they’re launching a DV blog.  They did give this tidbit,

As we open up the new year, we will make new announcements regarding Streamy, its features, products, and, of course, the planned launch.  Check in regularly for news.

For right now, I’m using Google Reader.  The best part of Reader is the share option so that others can see your recommended rss feeds.  The ability to share and post from anywhere on the web via their javascript shortcut makes sharing easy.  The Google Reader blog has a great video for those that want to start using it.  Once you start using it, you won’t be able to live without it:

I don’t know if Streamy will be able to pull me away from Google Reader if/when it does decide to launch.  I think it’s expected right before Duke Nukem Forever goes gold.

I was looking for a follow up post to last week’s announcement from Streamy.  Looks like they finally have one up today.  They’ve included a new video with some of the features.  But it doesn’t look like they’ve announced any release date yet.  Looks promising.  I’d love to do a write-up of the new Streamy.

UPDATE: 23 OCTOBER 2008

Looks like they have beta invitation sign-ups again,

More than a year after showing up on Digg, Streamy posted on their blog that they’re near completion,

What this means to you, finally, is that the vapor is clearing and we can deliver what many of you have gotten excited about over the last year. You’ll hear from us again this week.

I’ve been dying to use Streamy since I first read about it and since I saw their video.  I was even promised a beta invite last year via email, but it never came.

But I’m sure a lot has changed since the last update we got.  But if it takes them a year to get things working right and to release a polished product, I guess I can wait a bit longer.
