Bill Gross was just on stage to officially introduce UberMedia's latest product, Chime.in. The app hit iTunes yesterday. It is an online mobile social network built around interests. We've been seeing a lot of companies trying to tackle the interest graph lately, and Chime.in is the latest. Chime.in does this by layering the interest graph on top of the social graph (the connections between people you know). One way it does this is by applying a more finely tuned "selective follow" model. "You can follow a part of person or a whole person," explains Gross. So if you only care about what I say about technology and startups, but could care less about the photos I post, you can only follow my startup stream.
