Socialise your browser

Want your browser to be a key to your digital social life? Yoono is here at your ease. Socialise on the web right away from your browser….

What

Yoono is a cool plugin for firefox that integrates all the major social services into your browser. Whether it be chat, IM, Google Reader, Digg, Last.fm, Youtube, GTalk, Gmail etc…. (phew!!). So now you can track your social life while browsing. Also you can create web notes and share with friends(more about web notes later) and many more things

Who

Yoono originated when several friends found the need to rapidly exchange information without necessarity having to contact each other. They came up with a program which could effortlessly centralize, share and broadcast their selection of information. 
By extension, they imagined a service based on word of mouth which allowed them to bring together web users around common interests.

Yoono was designed to combine productivity and professionalism with sharing and user-friendliness. We hope you have as much pleasure in using yoono as we had designing it.

How

Just install Yoono Plugin to Firefox (an IE plugin is on its way) and create a new account within the plugin. After that select the widgets you want to use and you are off into social browsing…

Widgets:-

• Friends: This widget allows you to connect with friends on Twitter, Gtalk, Yahoo! Messenger, Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, FriendFeed etc. Here you can chat, send tweets to friends, update your facebook. All this widout leaving what you are doing.
• Discover: This widget shows websites of similar interest to what you are currently browsing, thus providing you great oppurtunity to discover content.
• Mail: This widgets allows you to read your emails from Yahoo Mail and Gmail.
• News: Gets latest news from Digg and your Google Reader account.
• Web Notes: This is a realy very great feature. Here you can drag and frop any text, image , video or any content into your notes and save it as a web note. These web notes can be shared with your Yoono friends. Web Notes are a great way to share relevant and useful information.
• Music: This feature allows you to listen live music from last.fm. Also connects you to imeem and seekpod.
• Videos: Gets the latest videos from youtube according to your preferences.
• Photos: Displays photos from current site, friends and desired keywords.

You can also mark a website as I love, I hate or Funny. Look at the video below for a demo of the plugin

Why

Pros: Provides a one click access to a number of social networks, email, chat and other featues all seemlessly integrated into your browser.

Cons:

• In the twitter widget the last update of all friends is shown instead of a normal timeline. This is confusing as it caused me to reply to a friends status which he had last updated an year ago
• While using Yahoo Messenger really loud and funny sound is made when you receive a message from a friend.
• My twitter status was once updated automatically wiht the website i was browsing without my knowledge which i couldn’t figure out how. (The website was i was browsing was a bit private which i didn’t want to share)
• So many widgets and features in such a small area makes it really cluttered.
