One of the finalists from the BlackBerry Developer Challenge, Strands has just made the leap to iPhone to offer folks an amalgamated social networking hub encompassing a wide array of online content. While I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, it sounds like they’re really trying to make everything you do online as shareable and rateable as possible. Right now it’s in a closed beta, but considering Nokia is throwing in their chips with these guys along with BlackBerry investors, it might be worth trying out. Hit up m.strands.com on your iPod Touch or iPhone to hop on with your existing account, or go to strands.com to sign up.
