Pribbit

Pribbit was a social media startup from Y Combinator's Summer 2010 batch that let users post status updates on behalf of others — inverting the typical social media paradigm where you share your own thoughts. Rather than broadcasting your own status, Pribbit users curated and amplified other people's updates, creating a layer of social curation on top of the existing social graph. The company was classified as inactive in YC company directories and appears to have ceased operations without a notable acquisition. Co-founder Nate Becker went on to found Social Sense and other ventures.
