SodaHead Connects With Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo

Los Angeles-based SodaHead.com, an online site focused on a combination of news discussion and questions and answers, announced today that the firm has connected the site to Facebook, Twitter, and Yahoo. According to the site, it has added the ability for users to automatically distribute questions and news articles to their online friends and followers, by providing login information to their social ntweorking accounts. The new integration allows users to automatically post questions from the site to a Twitter feed and Facebook status updates, or distribute them to Yahoo's contact lists. SodaHead, which is venture backed by Mohr Davidow Ventures, Mission Ventures, and the Tech Coast Angels, as well as angel investor Ron Conway, recently swizzled the site into a "social news" site, where people can debate and discuss breaking news and topics. The firm formerly was focused on providing a service where users could ask, answer, and discuss questions on any topic.
