Social web browsing plugin
Yoono has emerged from private beta. The new version still wears a beta label, but it's available to the public. Yoono is basically a utility that hangs out in the Firefox sidebar and
gives you quick access to instant messenging services, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, FriendFeed, and Piczo.
The public beta adds support for Firefox. It also packs a few new features:
- Filter your friends activity by network, group, or names
- Add FriendFeed and Flickr comments
- Send Twitter direct messages and replies
- Upload pictures to Facebook or poke friends
- Browse Digg video
Yoono will also be adding Google Talk and MySpace soon. There does appear to be a bug that prevents Yoono from working properly on Firefox 3 in some cases. The problem seems to show up if you've installed some other browser plugins. Yoono is expected to release an updated version addressing this problem within the next few days.

Wonder if this will give Flock a run for their money?

Why do all these applications need to be so...so full of crap? Buttons, billions of buttons, frames, colours and filled with useless services. I say minimalistic is the future!

Hi jeppe, One of our goals at Yoono is to try to make your life easier on the social web by providing you one place to manage all of your networks. That's why we've got an extensive interface, there's so many out there.
We think once you get used to using Yoono you'll find it's easy to use and can be quite a powerful tool.

haha nice comeback kevin.
I do wonder if this will give FLock a run for their money.
I think it is reallllly,,, reallly... extremely annoying to have firefox, songbird and flock. they all seem like the same browser with ... eh somewhat substantial changes.
It seems like they could be merged. latter two into firefox. making it bulky firefox... maybe not such a good idea.
anyhow hopefully Yoono is a good piece of software and will remove all these redundancies off of my computer

Hey Kevin, any chance there'll be versions for IE and Safari? I would love to have Yoono available on those.
