Yoono: The Little Plug In That Could (Do Virtually Everything!)



There are something like 2 million people using Yoono, the Firefox plug-in that provides real time updates of the activities of you and your friends on social media.

But Yoono has done a big update I want to tell you about. At its center are a variety of widgets that make the web and sharing across it, easier than ever.

Discoveries: Recommends sites related to the content you are reading.
Webnotes: Lets you share content and grab bits of it without the annoying cut paste method. You can also publish the notes you write directly into your blog or microblog.
Video: Lets you check out the top Youtube vids or customize to the types of vid content you like.
Photos: Instant photosharing, again in the web note.
Radio: Lets you enjoy streaming music from the add on.
Feeds: Headlines and all that, right in the add on.
Email: If I need to explain this one...

Friends: The biggie. You get to see all of the social media activities of your friends across a big range of social sites, including Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, AOL, Yahoo, and more.

Here's their explanation video:



Now, according to TechCrunch, you won't even need to use Firefox to get it because starting today, it works on IE as well.

If you feel the need to be in touch with lots of folks and lots of things, and indeed add your own say to the digisphere, this is a toy you are going to like loads.

Even more now than before, in fact.

Thanks for reading, and don't forget to write.

  1. As far as creating webnotes go, have you tried using a product called WebNotes (www.webnotes.net)? If you'd like, I can set you up with a free account to test out. Just email me at aking@webnotes.net
