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:

Hey Demogirl!
Your screen cast is awesome! I don’t usually make this much use of exclamation points, but seriously, I love it. I had it on my list of to-dos to make a screencast and I was dreading it. Is it cool if we feature it on our home page so new visitors can see what it’s about? Would you be willing to remake it with some friends data so that our users get the full picture? (I just added you as a friend). You can also just use my profile page: http://www.iminta.com/people/aaron
Anyway, thanks a ton for making this.
Aaron @ Iminta
Demogirl,
Thanks for taking the time to make that screenscast. Very helpful. I saw a few things I hadn’t seen in my own run-through of the app. Clearly, sharing screencasts of new services is filling a growing need!
Anyway, I had some thoughts on Iminta, which I just wrote up. I’m pretty skeptical of what’s really going on, since the feature set of the service already exists in other services. Would love to know what the real plan is.

Aaron - I’m so glad you like the screencast. Of course you can feature it and I’ll see if I can get to an updated screencast soon. Thanks!
Do you still have invites? Is there anyway I can get one?
I’ve been thinking about a similar concept for some time. I’d like to try this one, please send me an invite if you still have any. TIA
