Thanks for such a comprehensive review, detailed pros and cons. I think power.com is worth using. By the way hot colors are not the biggest problem.

Well, industry really needs something that will connect all social networks to help normal users as much as possible. Power looks like a such a idea, so we are left so see if they will make good realization, and will they be capable to connect ALL networks together for real.

I agree with Terry. Although i would also ask how big the audience is for this kind of thing. Although the attention hungry will register on as many social networking sites as they can, they tend to gravitate towards a couple which meet their needs best I believe. And is visiting and managing different identities on, say, Facebook and YouTube really such hard work?

And how does Power.com plan to keep on top of the myriad nich networks that will most likely drive the next wave of social networking?

I’d also say it’s a shame a social media launch page of this type hasn’t also incorporated single sign on with any clever way of managing a single, shared social graph which you can then easily re-use on the destination sites.

It’s neat-ish I guess — the name is cool — but it doesn’t do enough new to give it great appeal.

I suppose it's a good idea, but I've stopped using myspace and have been using facebook exclusively. It would be great to have one place to check all of your updates you received today or in the last hour. They need to add twitter as soon as possible. Red's last blog post..Clean Red Widget Designs

To me this is one of those instances where I wish someone would have developed a stand alone app and not a browser based tool. I don't like the idea of using a browser for which is notorious for memory leak issues as the platform for an always on communications solution. I find tremendous advantages to using something like iChat or Adium for messaging over anything browser based, specifically that it can run in the background and use minimal resources until it actually is needed. Some things a browser is just not up to task for yet. Terry Howard's last blog post..Walmart FAILS Web 2.0

Interesting, I’ll have to check this out, having all those sites accessible from one place is a good idea.
