Bebo Launches Social Inbox to Aggregate Feeds from Your Networks
Social network Bebo is getting in the aggregation game. Their new Social Inbox is an attempt at a FriendFeed-like feature that culls feeds from your Twitter, Flickr, Del.icio.us, YouTube, and AIM accounts, among others, so you can manage your online social life all in one place. You can also check email accounts from Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail and others.
"People want the ability to stay in-touch with their contacts in real-time wherever their friends may be across the Web. The current fragmented social networking environment makes keeping up-to-date with others increasingly difficult. Bebo's new Social Inbox is our first step in solving this problem," said Joanna Shields, President, AOL People Networks. "By opening up our network to the most popular sites and allowing our users to pull in the best of the Internet, we are creating an environment where everyone can easily and effectively manage their online lives, no matter where the individual pieces reside."
Bebo and social aggregator SocialThing were both acquired by AOL this year.
