Minixr: Incredibly Easy Lifecasting Tool



I'm trying to cover more startups from countries other than the US and Israel, because great ideas are coming for every corner of the earth.

One of those great ideas is Minixr, a microblogging and lifecasting platform where the emphasis is on EASY! Some lifecasting platforms can be a bit clunky -- but not Minixr. The simplest of interfaces lets you quickly provide text updates as well as audio files, video files, photos, and other multimedia content.

Additionally, if directed, the service will also grab and publish content from your various presences online, like YouTube, Digg, and the like.

The service now offers mobile posting tools as well. Pownce users can also move their life cast to Minixr quite easily.

According to StartupArabia, the service will be entirely ad supported.

Minixr isn't from Silicon Valley or Tel Aviv, rather it is based in Algeria, which puts an interesting spin on their business. How? Because Minixr is said to being focusing particularly on Arabic and French speakers around the Earth.

I am impressed by that idea because the number of English dominant environments is exploding, and I would imagine that great money can be made on serving other populations. No one is going broke offering services in Mandarin these days -- similarly Arabic and French speakers are in numbers so high that it is only natural that serving them can be lucrative.

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