What is Greplin and Why Are People Comparing It To Google?
Reports say that Greplin works quickly and faster than Google, finding one's own posts, email, and documents scattered around the various services. But it's more. Greplin can also search posts and documents shared by friends' accounts. The site launched in late February and now people are comparing Greplin to Google.
Daniel Gross is a 19 year old from Israel who developed the idea for Greplin during a breakneck, two-day coding session at Y Combinator, a seed funding company for startups. Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham’s house basically told Gross to “build something that you’d want to use today, not something you think people could use somehow.”
Together with co-founder Robby Walker, 27, Gross created Greplin, a user-authorized search that can access Google Documents, Salesforce, Twitter, Facebook and more.
