Here at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, Microsoft has announced its newest social media project: Spindex, a tool that aggregates social information from Facebook, Twitter, Bing, Evernote and RSS.The application, which is only available in limited preview to attendees of the Web 2.0 Expo, is an attempt to “make sense of your social overload” by giving you the ability to glance at what is hot in your social networks. It is a project of the Microsoft FUSE Lab, whose goal is to create new products that deliver a better social and real-time experience.At first glance, Spindex sounds similar to FriendFeed or even Google Buzz, but in reality the project is an experiment that is still in its early stages — there is no indication that Spindex will become a core Microsoft product.We’re going to gather more information on Spindex and test it out. Stay tuned to Mashable for updates
My Take on Spindex thus far and so on…….FYI: I am part of the Spindex team,well I am one in a few that have an account and am in the middle of deciding if I like it or not!? Spindex is somewhat similar to FriendFeed but defiantly not like Google Buzz,well in my opinion and I think you would agree,providing you have done your homework.Spindex is more like Yoono, HootSuite,and some of the other Social Networking platforms that are available to the social networking community. I am still in the early stages and use of this program…..so far like I have said previously it is like any of the other social platform just made by Microsoft…..stay tuned for more as I try and get the maximum use out of it!!! ;)
Are there any of you other bloggers that are testing out Spindex??? I would love to hear your input on it so far….please contact me!
