Earlier in the month we wrote about the public beta of AntStorm, and it seems to be going well. The company announced today that more than 2,500 trails have been created by registered users. AntStorm users share collections of their favorite links about a particular topic as “trails” on AntStorm and the major search engines. Groups of AntStorm users can also collaboratively find, recommend, annotate, and vote on the best links for a specific topic, exposing members of the group to great new information and resources on their favorite topics.

“We’re very happy and a bit surprised by such a fast start,” said David Wilson, president and co-founder of AntStorm. “Many social media sites take several months to see this kind of momentum in terms of content generation, so we see this as a strong validation of what we are doing and how we are doing it.”

Wilson continued: “While we have a great deal of work ahead, we are excited about this milestone in our progress. We look forward to helping our users find information better and faster, while connecting with others who share their interests to interact and collaborate in innovative and rewarding ways.”
