Startup Nomee aggregates social networks and websites into a free Adobe Air powered desktop application that helps you manage these networks and sites into a single interface. The nomee personal all-in-one dashboard aggregates all your favorite social networking sites (you can manage profiles from up to 100 networks including Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn and Digg ) and RSS feeds, giving you one place to organize your online relationships, share your information, follow newsmakers, and even publish your own news.
Nomee is designed to simplify social networking by organizing all of your online relationships in a single location, making it easy to focus on who you want to connect with, when you want to connect. With the help of Adobe Air, Nomee also brings news updates to users in a pretty simple interface. In addition, Nomee lets you customize the information you want to share, pointing your contacts to the web sites you want them to see. It also alerts your contacts when you post updates or new content, including providing custom updates to different friends and business associates.
Nomee also allows you to follow your favorite celebrities, sports teams and other interest areas through downloading its exclusive nomee newsmaker cards. You can become your own nomee newsmaker by collecting links on your nomee card and posting it for download from your blog or website, so your fans can track you.
Managing all of your social networks, celebrity obsessions and RSS feeds in one place is not a new idea. FriendFeed aggregates all of this information into a website. But the adoption of Adobe Air into the application gives it a different twist. Nomee, which can be run on a PC or a Mac, isn’t your conventional website, its actually a rich internet application separate from your browser.
Here’s a screenshot:
This seems like a great way to get all organized instead of having multiply windows open.
Yeah..It looks cool. I will surely give it a try right now..
Don’t waste time on these stupid things, kid. Study well.
LOL
This is something that Orsiso has been doing for several months already!
Check it out at http://www.orsiso.com
that’s not true. Nomee is much more in depth than orsiso. It supports 101 sites, where orsiso supports less than 10 and has a much more complicated interface. Nomee is going to make things so much simpler.
worth a try ….
Not at all. It is a joke. So poorly designed. Don’t bother!
Seems to be good. Let me check it out
Is it compatible with Linux?
Its an AIR application, meaning it works wherever you got adobe AIR installed.
As the name says, it is only AIR – vapourware.
That’s so much easier to manage than killing my battery with multiple applications running.
Will definitely give it a shot when I got home tonight. Looks exciting.
looks pretty cool and easy to manage.
I use Digsby. Free, light, simple, task bar sitting, twitter, facebook, gtalk, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc etc
Even email notifications / management on a simple level.
A single log in will get you in to everything, and should you install / use on another computer or after a re-install it saves all your preferences, accounts, and even your window settings / styles etc.
Well worth checking out.

Digsby does multi-protocol chat(something nomee does not do), and alerts for just a handful of social networks. It does do a lot of similar things, but it’s not really the same. nomee supports more than 100 social networks and alerts on all of them. And it’s also about sharing your contact information, and let’s you customize how you share all that information based on the relationship you have with the receiver.
Fair point… though I wonder how many are on networks beyond the key ones?
Personally, I like being updated about Yelp, YouTube and Delicious through the nomee app. They’re not key ones, but they aren’t supported by Digbsy. But Digsby is more like a really fleshed out Googletalk, that updates you about your email, and what your gmail(digsby) contacts are doing on facebook and twitter as well.
Dave,
nomee is a total waste of time. Digsby and Twitter work sooooo much better.
-Jon
Jon – twitter and nomee are two totally different things. Did you try nomee at all? I love that I can see when a friend uploads images onto flicker, or updates their personal RSS or blog without having to check into everysite several times a day. Digby’s an okay application, but so far nomee just does so much more.
Good concept.. looks very familiar to http://TwiTR.Me
This looks incredible. I am at work now, but when I get home this will get a test run. It looks like the app I have been looking for for a very long time.
Nomee is so disappointing. Not worth 2 min. of time.
hi Carrie…..
It seems that you have a personal vendetta on this site. You’re very negative, but not very well informed. Does your ex-girlfriend work for them or something?
http://unhub.com does this all pretty darn well I find.
It’s certainly looks nice
It’s certainly very pretty
Nice thing.
Do you know more of this Aggregators? Except unhub, orsiso and now Nomee?
All these tools – Skimmer, Eventbox etc all seem to lack ambition.
How about some truly useful capabilities rather than simplistic mashups?

Hmmm. Most of these posts seemed to be composed of “fake” people trying to boost this product. “I’m going to try it when I get home ?” or “This is the product I have been waiting for for a very long time ?”…
Please.
Facebook does all this and more. But most importantly, what I would like to know is what is going on with this company’s EULA. Has anyone read it ?
Hi Tim,
As far as I know, I’m the only nomee employee who’s posted to this topic. Anyone else posting here isn’t part of our team and isn’t involved in our product.
As for the EULA, if you want, you can email us at support@nomee.com with your issues with it and we’ll see what we can do.
You need to have the EULA facing the public somewhere right ? I shouldn’t have to “email” you for the EULA. It SHOULD be “posted.” URL please ?
I thought you meant you had issues while reading it, like a clause you felt was unfair. Our Terms and Conditions are located here: http://nomee.co...conditions.html
Except facebook is lame as hell, lol. It does indeed do “all that and more”, just crappily.
Tim,
I wanted to let you know that while we monitor all of the newsfeeds we really do not have people shilling for us to try and get users. The only person that works for nomee who has posted is Katherine, and we have instructed our associates to be careful and only respond to feature sets that may explain more about our tool. We are really interested in all feedback, good or bad, so we can improve the users experience. Thats why this is a beta product, so our message and user experience can respond to what the users want.
I’m with Tim. No real person could say this product is great. RWW did a write-up and totally panned it.
The product speaks for itself. No one thought about the user. In fact I cannot tell that anyone thought of anything while building it.
Techcrunch is really grasping at straws here. I usually like reading what you guys write. However, I tried this product last week when a friend asked me to. And I couldn’t believe how terrible it was. Very few redeeming qualities. Move on to the next product.
Terrible!!! I tried it and found it soooo confusing. Don’t waste your time!!!
Wow, what a terrible sign-up process and UI. Just some eye candy with nothing useful underneath. Come back when you have a useful product.
Slow news day on TechCrunch?
I just talked to one of their employees at their Web2.0 Expo booth and he told me the only way I can see my friends’ Twitter of FB feeds is if they download Nomee too! I said “that’s a pretty big hurdle” and his response, verbatim: “yeah, it is.”
I just don’t understand this product.
At least it no longer has a feature that was nicknamed the “icon vomiter”.
you guys are retarded. The ones giving bad feedback. I did a story on this recently with my universities paper. The guys are really nice and it is not a finished product yet!!! They will make it better for you! So quit being so lame and putting it down. Plus they are letting an advertising class from UNT come up with promotion ideas for nomee when it finally does launch nation wide. Which is pretty damn cool for a company to let college students do that.
So give them a break!!! It will be better.
forcing your friends to download an app so you can see their feed is beyond a beta shortcoming! that’s just poor design that kills the product before it gets out the door.
cool though that they’re letting your class come up w/ promo ideas.
They must be running out of money to let a college class do promotion.
And how do you promote something that is unusable?
It’d be useful to know more about the folks behind Nomee. The “About” section on their site gives no information. Not very comfortable for a new site that asks users to type in the user names and passwords to all their social networks.
The “Contact us” tab doesn’t give any way to contact anyone at Nomee, nor give a clue to where this company is based. For all we know it’s a massive phishing expedition based in Nigeria.
I cannot agree more, the site and application is much needed service . But Nomee and the others are only demonstration feature sets that the guys who own the “football” can/might integrate within there service .
But, sharing all our Personal and Private data of who and what you are online is a huge problem, with the added triangulation of your personal identity. And trusting that the company who is not disclosing who THEY are !
Trust NoMee, WHY ? NO good NoMee, tell us about WHO / Where and your friends are and why we should trust you… and then we all might not be poking at ya !
Shame NoMee.
okay well its not. It’s sorta like you signing into Aim messenger. But instead of having to sign into different social networking sites at different times, once you sign into nomee it automatically signs you into everything and lets you know if you have any updates or what not. It also lets you connect to other websites that you want to stay connected to.
It is still a work in progress, but I downloaded the adobe air thing and it took like one minute and I have a crappy computer.
So just give it a chance..geeezz..
point is that they ask users to log into all these services using their software client, AIR or not…there’s no “about”, “contact us” or even the obligatory privacy policies of the company that would give a user some comfort as to who’s offering the service.
It’s something that’s easily corrected…was just pointing it out as a suggestion. Sure the service is pretty cool.
I tried this and sort of agree and disagree with the comments here. The features did not make themselves apparent very easily. However, once I found them (including some help from the Nomee people at the W2E conference,) I think they’ve got something valuable. The problem they’re trying to solve is an important one. I wonder if half the comments above are from Facebook employees pissed off that their ability to SPAM us has been hit!
Is it me, or does the “article” sound like a press release? Mike, are you guys taking money to publish press releases ?
ok
What puzzles me is that the nomee pitch is that they are not another social network: they are just a tool to monitor “over 100 sites!” . What they don’t really tell you upfront is that you can’t actually follow anyone on your “100″ social network sites without each one of them signing up for nomee and connecting with you on nomee. Now what does that make nomee, frankly? You got it: another social network!
Add to that the fact the it’s sooooo buggy. Many people have already reported the memory leaks (ironic for an app one of whose missions was to eliminate having to hog memory by monitoring all those sites separately); the online Help consists of a very basic FAQ and a support Forum that is just a mess of spam posts advertising products to grow parts of my anatomy; and finally once you add your various sites, you can’t delete them! That’s right: once added, you cannot remove (most) sites from your nomee profile. You get “Error saving current user, please try again.” Well, try, try again, it’s always the same. Final pet peeve: if you turn off “auto start” it leaves it on. If you manually remove it from the Startup folder, it adds itself again the next time you start it. I think this all beyond bugs and poor design: I see spammers at work.
Hum, we are redoing our new website and want to do more social networking. A social networking tool like this sounds like the solution. Will it have all the features of each network?
