But there are also a lot of stuff we'd like to work on before addressing these issues. @MyMesh The IE version shall be available in the coming weeks. Yes, indeed, it is a beta release and there will be many improvements and changes before it goes public. Thank you for bearing with us. Hi all,

Yes, indeed, it is a beta release and there will be many improvements and changes before it goes public. Thank you for bearing with us.

I'm usually not a fan of browsing with an open sidebar so I really appreciate the ability to pop the widgets out of the dock. This is clearly a very early beta release but there's a lot of potential here. It took a while to get my invite but I must say Yoono is very slick.

I only receive moderate amounts of trash on those two combined. Digsby connects with Google Apps, while most aggregators suck at life, for the most part.

Once all the services are open and there is a unique name that identifies an individual across all (or many services), a social profile could be built from the information from all the different services. This profile wouldn't have to be all located in one services but could just be compiled on the fly, which would be the aggregators job. Eitherway, something needs to be done.
