The article notability is questionable. It appears to have had some coverage in 2009, but nothing sustainable since then. Nothing on Google News, Newsbank, Trove or Google Books which supports article notability. LauraHale (talk) 23:15, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per GNG and WP:ADVERT. Qworty (talk) 00:00, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral, for now: This is similar to the other one you nominated for deletion, and I said borderline keep for that one. For this one, I see less, but I still can't bring myself to vote delete for this since there was some minor coverage at one point. WP:NTEMP might apply, especially since, seeing that this was ceased, there'd be nothing new to report. Go Phightins! (talk) 00:25, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There's plenty of source information Brizzly CEO Shoots Down Foursquare Acq-Hire Speculation (July 5, 2010), AOL wants to get more social with Brizzly acquisition (September 15, 2010), AOL Acquires Thing Labs and Brizzly (September 28, 2010), TheFlyOnTheWall.com March 2, 2012. Those are just the ones with Brizzly in the title. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 03:13, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. There is more at Business Week. Strangely enough, the article doesn't mention the startup company which produced the software, Thing Labs. There is mention of Brizzly, connected to the acquisition by AOL, in Wall Street Journal online. There is more recent coverage in PC World. These are all RSes for business and technology news. There is some interesting coverage in Mac World: the company people rebranded an iPhone Twitter app as Brizzly, bringing it within the scope of the article's content. Mac World is also an RS for technology news. Churn and change (talk) 04:36, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, bordering on a merge with the AOL article. The product was covered widely by secondary sources, as has been demonstrated, but it's currently defunct after the AOL acquisition. Although it was in beta, it was never given an official release, so I'm not too sure about lasting significance.--xanchester (t) 06:00, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
