If you are a SNA (aka, social networking addict) with multiple profiles on multiple sites, Minggl might be just the tool for you. Currently available by invitation only and currently only supporting MySpace and Facebook, Minggl aims to put social networking back in the hands of the user. By downloading the Minggl toolbar, you can view all of your sites with one log-in, check email on 4 different profiles/sites in about 30 seconds, automatically navigate to your friends profile or email page with one click, broadcast email to all friends on different sites, and put your content in little portable suitcases (called Minggl Notes) so that you can post to any of your social net sites in one fail swoop and have that content be private and password protected.
Minggl is a "Persona Centric" toolbar and the first service to put you in charge on popular social networking sites (MySpace, Facebook, etc). "Persona Centric" means that what you see, and what you show, can vary, based on the current social site, and based on who you are and who's profile you are viewing.
It is hard to know which application tools for networking sites are going to work or not. This tool seems quite handy and useful, as you can sign-in and view different sites from one spot, as well as edit content for different sites at one time. You can also download content for private viewing, outside of the host site's knowledge or approval, which could be considered a good or bad thing.
Is it legal to be able to post content outside the awareness or control of the host platform site, even if you can only see it through a link? If legal, is it ethical? I mean, I'm all for freedom of expression, etc etc...but I'm not sure this is the best approach. Why are they still only allowing invited users to download the software? What kind of bugs and legal issues are they still working out?
