Dscover.me is launching today as a way to share and recommend what you are reading or watching on the Web. Using a Chrome or RockMelt add-on, you can share pretty much any link – sorry, “Discovery” – with friends and followers.
Using Facebook Connect, you can sign in to Dscover.me and start sharing websites with friends via a so-called “Discoveries Stream.” A Whitelist feature allows you to check which sites you’d like to share and which sites you’d like to keep private. With these settings, Dscover.me will automatically add Whitelisted sites that you've visited to your stream.
After setting up an account, users can follow friends and people with similar interests, as determined by their browsing behavior. Dscover.me says that in the future it will provide content recommendations to users as they browse the Web.
Privacy is an issue here because essentially Dscover.me will share whatever you are browsing (if it’s on the Whitelist). But the company says that the Whitelist allows users to specify what they are comfortable sharing when it comes to browsing. Dscover.me also allows users to remove posts from the system and modify their Whitelists at any time.

Oh, and when I hit send on this e-mail. I realized that Dscover is Spelled wrong. Was, Discover.me already taken? Lets see... Well, Yes and No... Discover.me has not been taken, but it could cost a small fortune to get it!:O The .me domain extension is new to me. So here's what I found...

As the international sales director of .Me Registry, the company that operates the top-level domain of Montenegro, Natasa Djukanovic is part of a small company that has taken .Me to one of the world’s top 20 domains in just two years. She is based in the Montenegrin capital Podgorica.
Our young company is very small, but we have managed to sell names such as date.me for $70,000. As in any small company, we can all do almost everything each other does.We know Montenegro struck lucky after our tiny Balkan country separated from Serbia in 2006 and was assigned a new country code domain name that has global appeal: the word “Me”. That only makes us work harder at being a success in the modern, 21st century world of the internet on behalf of remote and conservative Montenegro.

But, back to Dscover.me... I don't think I would ever be able to remember this oddly spelled Domain Name. I would definitely have to Bookmark this one and then I would probably over look it when trying to find my Bookmark to go there. If I started typing in my Browser Window, I would probably type discover out faster than it could pull up Dscover.me from my Recent History. So, I think this will cause allot of frustration with Dscover.me Users and could play a big roll in how much People use the Site, after joining.
