Minggl shows future of social networking sites

by on April 28, 2008

Today Minggl came to my house and showed me their latest toolbar that joins Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and MySpace together. That’s pretty darn cool, although I can’t get it to work on Firefox’s newest betas (you gotta stick with old Firefox).

I’m trying it out on IE, and it is definitely the start of something interesting. What if such a toolbar could replicate all your photos between Flickr and Facebook? That’d be cool and a good way to defend against getting kicked off of Facebook.

  • Yawn, old news. Flock!
  • Dear Scoble

    Just wanted to thank for sharing my article - Techmeme or Techcrunch ? - Can you repeat the question ? in your link blog.

    I have put up two static pages yesterday so you can view and share my current and previous articles. They may appeal to only part of your audience (the part which is novice and learning) like me

    Thanks again

    You'd probably get banned.

    Happened recently when some guy tried to automate that stuff. (I wish I could remember his name)
  • how many tears ??
  • Neat little tool. Agree with ajcann that Flock is similiar, very user friendly and "is" my browser. Minggl supports Myspace which will be good for people in the entertainment field and also supports iMeem and Meebo. Needs some cleaning up but I like it. Not revolutionary but another good aggregation tool.
  • Now that's awesomely cool! That's what I call innovation. Good job, Robert!

    Shame about the outdated nudge-nudge-wink-wink topical references in their demo video. Very lame.

    robert,

    I recieved my Twine invite a few days ago, btw
  • Robert, I don't mean to pee in their kool aid, but doesn't Flock do this already?
  • Dude, these add ons are choking my browser..

    cough cough...

    A toolbar mash-up, the world is finally saved...

    But a toolbar that spawns mash-up selectable combos, now that would be just fab.

    (for the dim-bulbs, note sarcasm)
  • Agree with ajcann....so they have developed a plugin which does exactly the same as flock then...
  • Nice redesign. Did you do it yourself?
  • (repost)

    Hey, redesign looks nice. Did you do it yourself?
  • I love the new site design, very contemporary. I hope that link means that I can try this new toolbar too, it sounds too good to be true.

    I think Plaxo already saves copies of all the pictures I upload to Flickr and other sources, and doesn't demand screen space for a toolbar.
  • I like the idea of Minggl. But I have limited interest in tools that don't support Safari -- Firefox gets unusably slow if I have it open for more than about an hour.
  • didn't the recently shut down allpeers have functionality similar to this?

    Have you tried Minggl out again recently? I'm not a developer, so I can't speak to the technical side of it, but I do geek out a bit on checking out new technologies. I quite like Mingll so far, and yesterday wrote about it from a layman's perspective.
