Minggl is a toolbar that monitors your social networking sites, consolidates your friend lists and lets you do all sorts of cool things with tags, etc.
We have it working with IE 6 & 7 plus FF and Flock.
We next want to release a Safari version
All the core code is already complete and available in an XPCOM library. We just need someone to build the UI and event dispatcher for Safari
If you have the skill and are interested, please email:
dewey@minggl.com
Are you considering doing a web based version of this or is it purely a plugin for firefox? It's a great concept.
We already have a web based version, but as you can imagine there are all sorts of things you can do from the client that you can't do from a server. So the leading edge of features will continue to reside in the Toolbar. Do you have the skills to help do the Safari version??
No I'm not pitching to do the safari version. I'll take another look at your website and see if I can find the web version. I think there's a pretty good segment of the market that is in "plugin overload" and balk at adding another plugin.
Looked at your site again and can't seem to find the web version... can you post a link to it?
too many of features that our focus groups consider primary to the product/brand are only technically possible using the plug-in so we won't move forward with a web-based, read-only aggregator
If you need any beta testers, ping me.
On your page showing the toolbar it says "Jessica Alba just poked you on Facebook." If this toolbar gets Jessica Alba to poke you, then I'm in.
One suggestion:
Take a look at the web 2.0 toolbars feature that lets you submit to many social networking and bookmarking sites at once
http://www.web20toolbar.com/
If you incorporate this feature I will switch!
Here's a description of this feature from the web 2.0 site:
POWER SUBMIT - Easily post pages to over 30 social linking sites right from your toolbar including Digg, Stumbleupon, Del.icio.us and more.
I'm confused. Minggl lets you centralize your posts and content and helps you to break down the "walled garden" model of the Web 2.0 sites.
Now you can put your YouTube video on your Minggle-enabled LinkedIn page, or create custom versions of your pages depending on who has logged in with what Minggl account -- your spouse gets one version of the page, your secret girlfriend/boyfriend gets a different one, your other secret boyfriend/girlfriend gets a third, etc....
So remind me why I'd want to have a tool that pushes the same content out to thirty different Web 2.0 sites? I want to centralize this stuff, not copy it around to a hundred different places.
