It seems like I’ve been waiting forever for the beta launch of BuzzStream. Even worse, I see CEO Paul May and Chairman Jeremy Bencken talking about it at social events all the time. At the TechCrunch event in the Fall, Jeremy had a demo on his Dell Mini 9 that was just awesome. Thankfully, BuzzStream has finally arrived! The beta was launched last week at PubCon, and the company held a happy hour at Molotov to celebrate the first real users into the system.

If you spend a lot of your day link building, this is the tool for you. But even better than that, it tracks and manages your inbound links and creates a kind of mini-CRM for you. The bloggers over at internet marketing company Bruce Clay had a great writeup with lots of details and screen shots.

It’s fantastic to see some more people creating web companies in the B2C space. Our city has such a great legacy in enterprise computing (IBM, Tivoli, Trilogy, Vignette) but it’s great to have diversity in our little town.

Thanks for reading this far, and as a reward we’ve got some beta invites for you. Not a ton, but you get lucky and get one let us know!
