SocialWhale.com - The True Power Of Twitter Unleashed

A startup hailing from Greece, we can define Social Whale as an extended Twitter client that adds a plethora of functionalities. These include the ability to create groups, and user lists with customizable timelines, as well as tagging favorites. Moreover, Social Whale has content preview for media of every type - images, videos and music are supported.

In addition to that, the provided client gives the user the chance to connect with several social networks at once, and post updates simultaneously.

The company is also building clients for desktop and mobile platforms, and as a matter of fact a client for vodafone's betavine platform has already seen release. Other mobile platforms are currently being worked upon, too.

Some people might say that simplicity is what gives Twitter an edge of its own and that anything that is added can but lessen its impact, but when new functionalities are implemented in such a thoughtful manner that point of view just does not hold water.

“Our idea is simple at its base. We create a clone of twitter’s API and then extend it, so that it has more features. This way twitter can continue being as simple as it is now, but advanced users can use our implementation in order to have the features we offer. Developers can easily update their applications to work with our extended API using the same requests in our domain (instead of twitter’s) and get the same data, enriched with the extra information that we provide. This way we actually have created an extension of twitter itself.”

It is a compelling and extended Twitter client that also allows you to update your status at Facebook, Identica, Friendfeed and MySpace.

When will the site launch to the public at large?
