Today, MyLife.com announced that it
has purchased Threadsy’s technology that allows users to pull
together their email and social accounts into a simple, enjoyable
experience. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
While MyLife currently enables its over 60 Million registered
users to connect to their social and email accounts for free, the
Threadsy technology will allow MyLife to bolster its Personal
Relationship Manager (PRM) offerings even further. With the
Threadsy technology, MyLife users will now have access to:
- A unified ‘social inbox’ that combines
email and direct messaging from all social networks, and
- Photo and audio sharing from all
networks
These features will rest on top of MyLife’s highly-popular
“Who’s Searching for You” service and the company’s robust search
capabilities that can analyze over 700 Million profiles to find
people who can’t be found anywhere else. MyLife search provides a
one-stop shop to connect with family, friends, classmates and
colleagues and also find valuable service providers like lawyers,
carpenters, electricians.
“Our purchase of Threadsy’s technology is a win for MyLife,”
said Jeff Tinsley, founder and CEO of MyLife.com. “We will get the
immediate benefit of Threadsy’s complimentary technologies,
enhancing our Personal Relationship Manager, which lets users
manage all their social networks in one place, and our unique
people search capabilities.
