Introducing CrunchTrends!

Posted by Alex de Carvalho on Thursday, August 7th, 2008

We’re pleased to launch CrunchTrends!

We’ve paired TechCrunch’s CrunchBase with StartPR to return the online mentions of the over 6,000 companies and 5,000 products listed. Now, you can browse through or search for the companies or services you’re interested in, and find the latest buzz about them.

Here’s how it works

When people mention a product or company online, StartPR picks it up. We then combine it with CrunchBase to create a list of popular companies with the latest posts about them. We also pull all the newest companies that are added to CrunchBase and then display all the buzz associated with each one. When you select a company or product, CrunchTrends displays information and links to the latest mentions; it graphs the number of mentions over time; and, it provides profile information about the company.

What do you think? How can we make this more useful for you?
