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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

They must be running out of money to let a college class do promotion.

And how do you promote something that is unusable?

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.

Is it me, or does the “article” sound like a press release? Mike, are you guys taking money to publish press releases ?

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!

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.
