Shaker is a mixture of Second Life, The Sims, and Turntable.fm all mixed together using your Facebook data and connections

Good grief.

And it beat out Trello too. Something that (at least for my circle) I would argue really was disruptive.

Huh; it's probably a bad sign that I see a little too much of my own startup's pitch in that description.

(Then again, I usually describe my startup as "a group chat/collaboration tool that has learned from the reasons people prefer MMOs to IRC." Framed that way, it doesn't sound nearly so priggish--but I don't decide how it's framed, the public does. Sort of makes me worry.)
