Orgoo Beta
in: Uncategorized
Orgoo is a brand new startup trying to combine a ton of IM, Web and SMS services into a single service. Though it succeeds in bringing them all together, it’s currently limited to what you can actually use. I know it’s still in beta so I’ll let it pass, but they currently only support the bigger IM services, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, GTalk and ICQ. They also seem to have neglected social services, such as Twitter and Facebook’s new chat system.
Orgoo’s mail services supports IMAP and POP, so you’ll definitely be able to connect your email. It also allows importing of contacts from Yahoo Mail, GMail and AOL Mail. Though I don’t yet trust them enough to upload all my contacts to their server.
A few problems I have with Orgoo though, is that it’s not an encrypted connection. So the information you’re entering can be accessed by a malicious 3rd party (damn ‘em), so it’s up to you to trust the site or not. My other problem is the somewhat clunky interface, at times I need to click at least three times until I hit the correct spot (you’ll see in the video.) And just the general interface needs to be cleaned up a little and tightened.
I’ve recorded a short video of me going through Orgoo a little. If you want an invite, just comment on this page.
