The latest and greatest social networks allow communication across different mediums and Facebook has opened up their service with Facbook Connect so I can comment to blogs using my Facebook login and the comment is placed on my wall.<\/p>\n<p>Social Networking has become very powerful but there are too many of them. Granted, I only actively participate in 5 networks, it\u2019s still too many and this is what originally turned me on to Yoono. It was May of 2008 and Yoono had just launched. I heard about them via a popular Tech Blog and was hooked! Granted, the product wasn\u2019t as refined as it is today, I still found myself completely in love with the concept and I even switched from Safari to FireFox for the privilege of using the add-on.<\/p>\n<p>When I tell people about aggregation of social networks and even if I don\u2019t say the word, I see a cringe come over their face as their mind shuts out the concept of bring multiple networks into a single sidebar but they\u2019re missing the point. Imagine being able to see everything your friends are up to in a single view and in 2-5 minutes you\u2019ve scanned everything your friends have been up to in the last 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not a fan of reading Twitter posts throughout the day because it takes too much time but a sidebar that\u2019s integrated into my web browser that\u2019s unobtrusive, slim and can easily be hidden or expanded is a perfect solution. I login and setup my widgets like Myspace, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter &amp; FriendFeed. Once I do that, I can view single network updates or see all 5 networks in one view and Myspace updates, Flickr photos and tweets all come in to one view and I can reply, comment and share content from one window.<\/p>\n<p>This is social media aggregation and I don\u2019t cringe when I think about it. I\u2019m always preaching about saving time and working more efficiently and this is the tool that helps me do that. Yoono has another widget that I don\u2019t use as much but it shows related videos, photos, web sites and products as I browse the web. When I go to Amazon.com and look up a Canon DSLR Camera, the sidebar in discovery mode shows YouTube videos of that camera, reviews and a page on the web that sells it for a little cheaper. It\u2019s not the killer app that hooks me in but its a welcome feature that makes the web feel a little bit smaller.<\/p>\n<p>I do work for Yoono but that hasn\u2019t caused me to have a hazy vision toward how awesome the sidebar is. I do work there because I love the product and see a bright future for it and the friends widget is going to get better and better. I encourage you to give it a shot. Add your networks, scroll around, reply to some tweets and you\u2019ll see how awesome it can be.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/yoono.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/yoono.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twiter.com\/yoono\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/twiter.com\/yoono<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Social Networking has been around for a very long time and I\u2019d argue that E-Mail is the original&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-166","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-ideas","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-2G","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":362,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2009\/06\/11\/my-thoughts-on-yoono-6-0\/","url_meta":{"origin":166,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 My Thoughts on Yoono 6.0","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"June 11, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"It was early May, 2008 and I came to San Francisco to look at apartments when someone at Yoono emailed me about a marketing opportunity with the company.
