Iminta – A Social Networking Site For Social Networking (Say What?)

Iminta is a service that wants to help you and your friends share what you’re into (hence the name) across the different social networks you belong to.  The difference between Iminta and other social networking sites is that your friends don’t have to belong to twitter to see your tweets and they don’t have to visit Yelp to see the latest restaurant reviews you’ve written.  Everything you do on these sites is updated to one place, Iminta, and you can subscribe to the RSS feed so you don’t even really need to return there either.  You can also select specific groups of friends to have access to your information.  So, if you don’t want your work buddies to see the videos you’re favoring on YouTube, then don’t give them access to that account.   Every site you belong to has different privacy settings so you’re not limited to all or nothing.  Iminta is currently in private beta but I have 4 invites for the first 4 people who ask for one in the comments.  Here’s my screencast tour of Iminta:

Set Your Favorite Sites To Speed Dial – A Firefox Extension

Speed Dial is a Firefox Extension that allows you to quickly access all of your favorite websites with a few clicks on your keyboard or mouse.  After you install Speed Dial you just need to enter in the URL for the sites you want to access.  These sites are all numbered so you can use keyboard shortcuts like ctrl and the number to pull up the appropriate site.  You can also quickly add sites to your Speed Dial by clicking on “Set as Speed Dial” in your bookmarks.  I know Firefox Extensions aren’t for everyone, but Speed Dial seems like it could really come in handy.  Here’s my screencast tour of Firefox Extension, Speed Dial:
