Mingly – a possible solution for social media overload

 

Tweet Written by Danny Whatmough

I don’t want to write another 2010 prediction type post – I’ve written a few already! But, in the first few days of the New Year, I’m already seeing a lot of noise around a trend that I expect will grow by necessity in 2010 and beyond.

As social media and social networks in particular increase in popularity, there is an increasing information overload. Managing your connections across Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Foursquare and the like becomes a full time job in itself.

So services that try and combine this are going to become more and more prevalent.

One example of such a service is Mingly. The product is currently in ‘alpha’, but you can read all about it here.

Now this is my kind of startup – a company that sees a real need and tries hard to solve a problem without borrowing millions of VC money to get started.

Could this be a good example of a brave new wave of post-recession entrepreneurs? I hope so, there are too many useless startups around at the moment.

About

This is my story. I've always been fascinated by the internet. My first passion was music and I studied a music degree at Birmingham University. But once graduated I quickly went back to the web working as a digital marketer. I also ran a web startup for a few years. In the need of a new challenge, I turned to the world of PR and now work as an Account Director at EML Wildfire. My interest is primarily looking at how PR professionals can make the most of the web and digital marketing. This blog contains my thoughts and things I find inspirational.
