What is leapfrog?

Leapfrog is a way to read what your friends post on some social websites all together in one place. Inspired by longer form sites like LiveJournal and Vox, Leapfrog collects things that your friends share on Twitter, TypePad, Facebook and Tumblr into one “internet neighborhood” view.

When it can, Leapfrog will pull pictures and blog posts linked from tweets and Tumblrs into the stream to view without clicking through.

When it can't, Leapfrog will at least tell you what the link goes to.

When several of your friends post the same link, it's collected as one “thing” in your stream, so you only see it once.

Leapfrog is an experiment by markpasc & friends. You can see some things he wrote about it or the project on GitHub, or click one of the service icons above to try it out!

Thanks to Komodo Media and Tevan Alexander for the social media site icons.

Uh, why does leapfrog want to write to my account?

Leapfrog lets you mark things as favorites on some supported services. Unfortunately, none of the supported services let us ask for “favorite-only” access, so we have to ask for the same “write” level of access that lets us post and in some cases delete things from your account.

Please remember that Leapfrog is an experimental service, and to never give a web site access to your accounts that you're not comfortable granting. (As much as we like Leapfrog, it's okay if you don't want to use it!)
