Threadsy – Your Life in One Tab
By Robert Mattar on October 30, 2009
Recently there has been increased coverage on how in this digital age, the large majority of people are balancing increased inflow of information. Email, Facebook, Twitter and countless other networks and feeds have meant that many of us suffer at one point or another with information overload. With a problem comes an opportunity for a solution and this is where threadsy aims to play – by unifying your inflow of communication from multiple email addresses and networks.
The first thing that is noticable about threadsy is that the team have put a lot of effort into designing a clean user interface, essential in a app of this sort where you want to both be able to manage your multiple touch points but also be able to distinguish them apart so you know what network or email address the message came from. The UI features a two column collapsible design where your main content area is your all encompassing inbox. This features all messages sent directly to you whether they be an email, a Facebook message, or a Twitter DM or @reply. To the right of this is your ‘unbound’ column which includes all the status updates from Facebook friends and your Twitter followers – effectively the area that you do not need to read and react to every message but may want to browse at different points in the day. The unbound column also includes instant messaging integration for Google Talk.
threadsy features close integration with its supported services, including being the first service to use Facebook’s inbox API allowing you to reply to people directly in threadsy who send you a Facebook message. It also features the obligatory ability to like items and leave comments as well as adding Twitter followers and starring/archiving Gmail emails. A new feature Venturebeat reportedly stated is also in the works includes the ability to ‘abhor’ Facebook status updates from threadsy which will then appear on Facebook as a link back to a threadsy page!
