OrSiSo Wins Award, Still Confusing - ReadWriteWeb

Description

The Adobe AIR -based social network organization app OrSiSo (Organize, Simplify, Socialize), announced they recently won the Mobile Monday Singapore award, despite not being designed for a mobile phone nor having a mobile-optimized site. The application, which is still in beta, attempts to help you organize all of your various contacts across many different social networks by introducing 4 circles that friends can be assigned to.

OrSiSo supports several social platforms, including Facebook , Flickr , Twitter , and oddly, AIM . Once the services are authenticated in the system, OrSiSo gets busy importing the social graph data including followers and recent updates. After a few moments, these two categories reflect new activity and you can get busy sorting your contacts into the four levels available, numbered 1 through 4 respectively.

In theory, once you have all of your friends and followers all sorted into their correct circles, a few things should happen:

You should be able to peruse and act on status updates across all the supported social networks by clicking on the circle you want to give some attention to. Usually, this will usually be the first or innermost circle.

You will be able to peruse individual pictures or albums from Flickr and Facebook.

As you use the application more, OrSiSo indicates that their Social Firewall tool will make increasingly accurate suggestions about who should be in which circle.

You should be able to control what sort of updates you see, both on an individual level and on a friend circle level.

You will be able to merge the same contact from different services together so that they represent a single person.

OrSiSo will become your daily-use dashboard to keep up with all your friends and contacts, allowing you do read and respond without ever leaving the application.
