“Be connected but don’t be forced to share”, is the tag line of this new app called Accounts. Launched on the 11th of this month, Accounts aims at connecting all your contacts & turn them into Accounts. Here’s what they say on their Website: Our social networks are fragmented. Nowadays, people’s social networks span across multiple social platforms, messenger apps, online portals, gaming systems, computing devices, etc. Accounts aims to unify everything.
So how do these guys do it? Through a process called “social graph harmonization.” The Accounts Network functions as a series of pointers, consisting of “user-to-app” relationships. — Have a connection to someone? Add or invite them. Have an app? Add it to your profile, & the Accounts team will help you fill in those missing pieces in your social graph.
The
new mobile app detects “known services” on all your computing devices, & will locally notify you to add your accounts to your profile. Their Cloud service automatically matches you with known contacts, & helps build your relationship map for the future. Which means you can go into your profile in the app & add in your username for dozens accounts ranging from social networks to mobile messengers to gaming networks, etc. Each account you add can be tuned to be visible or invisible to a particular group or as visible or invisible to “everyone.”
Accounts right now is an iOS app but there’s an Android version somewhere in the works.
Accounts is a subsidiary of App Map LLC, a division of Streetlights & has been founded by designer/coder Ben Guild.
