Yoono Provides Answer to Social Network Diversification

Thursday May 8, 2008
Yoono Social Network Toolbar

The current trend in social networking is diversification and personalization, which is a fancy way of saying that new social networks are popping up that target a niche audience. The upside of this is that these social networks are able to better serve their audience by focusing on a single subject, but the obvious downside is that we, as users, are going to find it more and more difficult to keep up with our social networks.

From MySpace to Facebook to Twitter to Last.FM to LinkedIn and dozens of social networks in between, it can be work simply keeping on top of friend requests and status updates.

That's where Yoono comes in by supplying a universal remote for social networks. Yoono is a web browser plugin currently in beta that will allow users to quickly check up on their favorite social networks through a browser toolbar. This toolbar will give the user a quick status of the social network including friends requests and allows the user to type in a status update and have it automatically update all of their social networks.
