We’ve got some big news so we’re talking strictly in Press Release language today.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 4, 2010 — threadsy (
http://www.threadsy.com
), the world’s first truly integrated communication experience, launched a public beta version of its service today. It’s free for anyone to use and works without any downloads right in a web browser.
threadsy pulls together your email, Facebook, Twitter, chat, and the broader social web into a simple, enjoyable experience. More than simply aggregating information, threadsy integrates the services to provide better organization of messages and deep context on the people you communicate with.
Built from the ground up for today’s evolved communication mix
“Online communication is changing quickly. It’s becoming more public, social, and powerful, but it’s also becoming a fragmented mess,” said Rob Goldman, CEO of threadsy. “The average 23-year-old now has 6 different accounts to check every day.” Email used to dominate online communication; now it’s just a piece of a much larger tapestry including social networks, instant messaging, mobile devices, and rich content sharing. Just in the past year, online communication has seen profound changes.
“Facebook usage increased by 5 times, US smartphone penetration grew 50%, Google released its own Buzz social info sharing product, and now Twitter’s gaining 300,000 users a day,” said Goldman. “threadsy anticipated this explosion of communication channels and was designed to make managing them simpler and more enjoyable.”
See all your messages in one place
threadsy lets anyone combine all of their existing email, Facebook, Twitter, and chat accounts in one place. For email, threadsy supports Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, MobileMe, AOL Mail, and IMAP accounts. threadsy is a full-featured email client with support for folders, archiving, drafts, and custom email signatures.
For chat, threadsy supports Google Talk, Facebook Chat, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Myspace, and others through integration with Meebo. threadsy uses the recommended secure access methods from Google, Facebook, and Twitter and industry-standard encryption for other services.
Never miss must-read stuff again
threadsy groups all of your messages into 2 buckets: everything directly to you from email, Facebook, and Twitter in one column and your Facebook News Feed and Twitter stream in another. This organization insures important messages directed to you don’t slip through the cracks.
Focus on the people
threadsy creates detailed profiles of the people you message with. When someone sends you a message, browse their latest photos, website profiles, and Facebook and Twitter updates.
Deep integration with Facebook and Twitter
threadsy lets you fully interact with Facebook and Twitter. Post updates to either service or both at the same time. Comment on, like, love, and dislike Facebook updates. Follow/unfollow people in Twitter. Search Twitter for interesting tweets. See photos and watch videos. All directly in threadsy.
What’s new since our private beta launch
Since a successful private beta launch at the Techcrunch 50 startup competition 7 months ago, threadsy has rolled out a steady stream of major enhancements based on feedback from thousands of private beta users. Here are the highlights; you can read more about them on the threadsy blog:

I have loved this site for months now, mainly because my email accounts are blocked at work by Threadsy isn’t. To that point, could you all please bring all the .css and .js elements under the Threadsy domain instead of unifi.me? unifi.me is now blocked, rendering the site unusable behind my work proxy.
Thanks.

Yahoo! mail integration outside of the US is non-existent (as indicated on your website). I’ve tried messing with imap settings etc, but have had no joy whatsoever.
Any word on when other countries may be included?

threadsy | June 4, 2010 at 5:35 pm
International Yahoo support is low on our list right now. We have many other things that we plan to roll out first based on where we want to take the product. Sorry for your frustration.
