Outlook online

So it seems to be fully possible to synchronize all with Outlook, however that is just what we do not like, we love Internet based solutions, we hate stuff that you have to install. So what we need for the Contacts is the Outlook on-line where I can then send all my contacts from Google:


Now saving this File should then automatically be up-loaded back to MashMeUpScotty.com where it will be merged with for example my other contact list in ZoHo.com:


Now, automatically the application should scout away and get all other relevant information about these contacts in LinkedIN, Xing, FaceBook, MySpace, etc and all of the sudden you have a fantastic picture of the people you are dealing with.

When I update my profile I will get the update pushed down to all the applications where I am active, I would also be able to easily create new accounts by just clicking on "Create new LinkedIN account" for example.

I would also have in my e-mail a little "Business Card" that anyone can pick up and have available:


And when we really get the whole thing rocking anyone that want to have my information enables the drop of your ScottyCard in their website, So for example all Newsletters, Associations, Clubs, Shopping sites etc have a DropBox in their web site:


OK, it's getting there, should be very easy to get this going. :)

Mashery raises $5M

Here is from the Mashery.com introduction:

The tasks related to deploying, managing and scaling channels for a web service are not trivial. Using Mashery allows your company to build and control these channels without burdening your in-house staff with the headaches of controlling access, measuring usage and managing your developer community. Experience the benefits of an effectively managed open API service.

Neil, what do you have to say.

The more I think of this is that MashMeUpScotty is like the Interstate infrastructure, we create one account (the car) and provide the roads to get you to the destination. Well have to work on that a little but there is something there.

Neil once told me that search of the future will be all recommendation based, and I would tend to agree. What we need to get is to a state where you can make your own mashups without programming skills and you very easily grab the information you find and make something new fantastic out of it. And let is out to the world and share and recommend.

Please tell me more and let´s work it out, do not know where this is ending up but I am pretty sure that we are creating the new web here, right now...

LinkedIn finally adds user photos

Earlier this month, LinkedIn changed its “groups” feature to make them easier to create and manage — a move that also follows a strong rise at Facebook of its similar group feature. An open API for developer, such as Facebook has, is still in the works; company spokesmen said back in June that it would take about nine months.

I did get this from: http://venturebeat.com/2007/09/26/linkedin-finally-adds-user-photos/

Q&A from LinkedIN

Dear Linkedin, I did register a few months back and it took me some time to get into your solution but now I am hooked and you have me as a frequent user. I run into so many potential mashups and would like to know if you have this feature for other websites. I just want to have to update my profile in one site (LinkedIn) however many other sites requires (or at least would benefit tremendously) if they could get my info from you. I am especially thinking about event organizing and networking evenings. And one more thing, why do you not have a photo on the profile?????

Hi Per. Thanks for contacting us. Glad you like LinkedIn! Re: mashups. I'm not quite sure what you mean by a mashup. Do you mean you want to be able to export your LinkedIn data to other sites & keep that synced? We don't currently have a feature like that at the moment, but it's always good to hear about product needs and requests. Re: photos. That's a frequent request, and we're targeting to launch that this week. So if you check the site sometime ~ noon on Friday, Singapore time (may take a few hours more, it's hard to say) you can be the first person in Singapore to upload a photo! Thanks, Liz Liz O'Donnell http://www.linkedin.com/in/lizodonnell [Quoted text hidden]

MashMeUpScotty Business Draft

MashMeUpScotty is a Web 3.0 application that sits on top of all other social networks applications like LinkedIN, Xing, Iconnecte, etc and merges this with CRM tools like Salesforce.com and ZoHo and with emails like Google or Hotmail. Additionally it gives you the recommendations like StumbleOn or Del.ici.us. Get it?

No, OK. I need a one-stop-shop for all my Internet content, I just want to update my profile in one place (currently LinkedIN) and I just want to have my e-mails (from Google) visible when I do a search for my contacts in ZoHo CRM to be able to keep better track. I want to be able to share Notes (please check out this new feature in Google it is fantastic) with the people I meet and find interesting.

So I sign up to MashMeUpScotty and then start organizing my web-mess, I login to LinkedIn and automatically all the information about me is sucked out, I do the same in other accounts I have and by just leaving my password and username to the different applications I pretty soon have all my stuff in one place, names, addresses, notes, photos, etc...

Once I update the stuff it replicates into all the different accounts I have. If I all of the sudden want to create a new account in for example iconnecte.com I just hit the "Create Now" button and it is done.

The power is not in the information itself, it is in what you do with it, just like this blog, creating a business by sharing ideas on the web, openly, Pretty darn cool I must say. So then of course you create an open API from MMUS available to anyone that requires your information, event organisers, employers, who ever. Of course the development platform is totally open (just steal/use the FaceBook "operating system") and you will have a host of programmers creating all kinds of useful applications around this eco-system.

Business Model? What are you kidding me, who needs that, Facebook valued to US$10Bn, and what did they do, just a decent application and a lot of hype (anyone really using FaceBook creatively and effectively?)

If you want to get invited to participate in this Business Creation, please send me a mail and I add you to the contributor list.

Let it rock.
