If you log into your SocialToo.com account (or register if you haven’t already!) you can now click on the “Identi.ca” link at the top, provide your Identi.ca credentials, and you’ll now have the capability to automatically follow those that follow you on the microblogging site identi.ca. Not only that (I realize you can do that already on identi.ca through preferences), but if you do it through SocialToo.com you can also blacklist users from being followed again, something Identi.ca does not currently provide. Auto follow happens each night (and will happen more often when the API allows me to do so).
This is significant, in that now in addition to Facebook and Twitter, we’ll now have the capability to integrate Identi.ca into the tools we’re building and integrating with the Social Networks you belong to. Auto follow is just a start, but we are just days from launching a new feature that I think you’ll like, and it will automatically work on Twitter, Identi.ca, and Facebook if you’ve provided your credentials to do so.
SocialToo.com is your companion to the Social Web. My intention is to build tools that complement the Social Networks you already belong to, and make those networks even more powerful and useful through the tools we provide and integrate together across social networks. This is only one of many features we’ll be adding over the next few months.
Bear with me right now – the interface is still really simple. We’ll fix that up as we move forward. Be sure to provide your credentials if you’re on identi.ca already, let me know if you see any bugs, but give it a try!
You can find me on identi.ca here.
I'm totally confused about this social network thing. So how is socialtoo.com different from facebook or any other social community site. Everything nowadays is being called a “community”, maybe i'm just tech ignorant. For example, my friend told me to join http://www.dentalpricecompare.com to join their “community”, but i dont get how its a community.
SocialToo.com is intended to be a compliment to the Facebook's, Myspaces,
Twitters, Identicas, FriendFeeds, and others out there. Basically anything
with a profile, and friends list these days could be considered a Social
Network per se. My goal with SocialToo.com is to provide tools and
functionality across the social networks that those social networks don't
necessarily provide, so it's not a “Social Network” per se, but it could
definitely become one if we end up tying friends lists, profiles, and other
things like that. Overall it's intended to be a companion and compliment to
other social networks and communities on the web.
