Video review of Tangler - the next generation of message boards
After reviewing Pibb earlier this week, I have received a few requests to take a look at another player in the "new message board" space called Tangler. Tangler is really well built and certainly is more "today" than say Vbulletin. Tangler sets itself well by focusing on product development and feedback discussions.
My top suggestion fo Tangler would be to offer a way to integrate it into my web sites. Allow me to customize it to look like my site and for me to monetize it like I do with VB. I wouldn't mind paying the $85 from VB to these guys.
Tangler allows you to create and join different message groups (they have a few setup by default). Pibb seems to have more instant messaging and live chat options than Tangler.
It is just awesome to finally see innovation in the message board area after almost none in the past decade!
Update: Stephen has a good interview with Tangler CEO Martin Wells.
Check out my video review below… I will say there is a bit of rambling… :)






Hey thanks for the great feedback. Really appreciate it.
Sorry about no link to your site - I’ll add it asap! ;)
Cheers,
Mick (Also Mick on Tangler, so you can add me…)
Hey, just realised that you didn’t cover the desktop notifier. It sends you an instant alert every time a message comes in a topic you follow. You can click it to jump straight back in. Makes swarming around hot topics possible and adds to the real-time.
