One of the critical web 2.0 trends is a change in direction for content and users. In 1.0, users were given the opportunity to easily find content where it lived online. It was an enormous innovation -- what used to take weeks could be done in minutes.
But with 2.0, the idea is to radically change the landscape by offering users greater convenience. In short, things can come to you instead of the other way around. Though in this case, Tingz is probably the preferred spelling of Things.
Because Tingz are a new set of tools that allow you to modularize content you use from across the web and bring it to where you live online. What's more, Tingz can migrate to a variety of devices, and you can customize the assortment of Tingz you see on every device. Perhaps you will have three on your celly, ten on your TV, thirty on your work PC, and 55 on a piece of social media. Additionally, Tingz allow you to share any kind of content with others at any time. This is a nice feature, indeed.
Here's a vid of their TC 50 preso:

The overall concept isn't new, but the portability seems like a great feature. I'll be watching these guys because content portability and modularization are definitely a big deal in terms of the future of the web.
Thanks for reading, and don't forget to write.
