Hey, remember those bulletin boards in your neighborhood coffee shop? The ones where people would post all kinds of fun, random crap? To a certain extent, Craigslist has replaced those boards (heck, you could argue that the entire Internet has replaced those boards) but there’s a new startup called Tackk that’s trying to replicate that experience.

It is, in other words, a simple publishing tool for content that’s “single use” and “disposable” — basically the online equivalent of a flier. The goal, says co-founder Eric Bockmuller, is to create something that’s simple to use, but also expressive and customizable. He describes Tackk as filling a gap on the publishing side. Sometimes Facebook or a Twitter are too limiting, but you don’t want to have to go through the trouble of creating a blog post on a platform like WordPress. With Tackk, users upload an image (or embed other media), enter some text, and then customize the appearance (colors, fonts, that kind of thing) as much or as little as you want . Then they can share it via the Tackkboard or other social networks.
