O que JustSpotted faz
The artist-formerly-known-as Scoopler is a real-time search engine. It aggregates and organizes content being shared on the Internet as it happens, like eye-witness reports of breaking news, photos and videos from big events, and links to the hottest memes of the day. It does this by constantly indexing live updates from services including Twitter, Flickr, Digg, Delicious and more. When users search for a topic on Scoopler, they get the most relevant results, updated in real-time. Scoopler has now become JustSpotted, a celebrity-tracking tool, meant to give fans an idea of what their favorite celebrities are up to at any given moment. JustSpotted, like Scoopler, is a data-aggregator, yet JustSpotted collects from Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare -- alongside their own data they’ll be collecting from users who actual spot celebrities in the wild. All the information we aggregate is publicly available and you can even do a search on Twitter yourself and find sightings of celebrities. We're just the first people to organize it on a map and in such a way that it's easy to consume and ENJOY.†JustSpotted is about connecting with celebs. All the sightings on our website are naturally occurring events where an everyday person bumps into a celebrity as a chance occurrence. Back in the day, when you saw a celebrity while you were out and about the first thing you would have done was phone or text a friend. In the new age of social media, the first thing you do is share it on Facebook or Twitter. This phenomena is already happening. The service, which launches the week of October 11, 2010, is the latest creation by AJ Asver, Dilan Jarawardane and Benjamin Tauber.

Celebrity sightings organized on a map
We built JustSpotted, a tool that aggregates publicly shared sightings of celebrities from Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare, combined with reports from users who spot celebrities in real life. It organizes this data in real-time on a map so fans can easily see what their favorite celebs are up to right now. This is different from general search engines because we focus on real-time, geolocated, celebrity-specific content, making it simple and fun.
We are split between San Francisco, CA and Copenhagen, Denmark. After YC, we plan to base the company in San Francisco.
San Francisco is where investors and tech talent are concentrated and where YC is based. This will help us scale faster and connect more easily with the startup ecosystem and potential partners.
