Iminta What?
It’s hard to keep track of what your friends are into nowadays, especially online. With so many discovery sites, online games and social networks out there, checking out each and everyone of them can be time consuming.
Iminta hopes to give a solution in keeping in touch of the growing number of social services in the internet. It’s a social service that lets you keep in track of your friends’ social network activities and at the same time sharing yours. Iminta will let you plug all the sites that you are using into one service. A single profile of all the stuff you’re doing online will be created for you and you can choose from a list of popular services like YouTube, Flickr, Stumbleupon, Digg and many others to add to your profile. You don’t have to register in all you friends social service to share photos, videos, articles and other internet stuff. The service also lets you control what your friends sees from your profile and what you see from theirs. This will prevent clutter in profiles especially from heavy twitter users.
The service also lets you add content to your profile by using their “Iminta It” bookmarklet. If you find a website or a page that interests you and want to share it with your Iminta friends, just highlight the article or page and click on the bookmarklet and click add then the content along with the URL will be added your profile. You can also get your profile in one RSS feed and place it in your blog and other social accounts that supports RSS and get updates of your friends’ via email and RSS feeds.
This is an interesting and potentially useful site to watch out for. The website is still in invite only beta, you can sign up for an invitation at their site or get an invitation from me and share to me the stuff that you’re “inta”.

The Digg Girl’s Super Bowl Video
Kina Grannis who was made popular by her viral “Gotta Digg” music video got into the finals and recently won the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest. She launched an online campaign a few months ago to gather votes for the contest which includes a frequent release of her own music videos in YouTube of both cover and original composition by the Digg Girl herself. The 22 year old half Japanese from Orange County California discovered that her efforts paid off when the video was aired during the Super Bowl commercial. Check out the winning music video below featuring the song “Message From Your Heart” which is already available in iTunes.

Ximmy Pays You To Digg
Few weeks ago I wrote about Shareapic and pointed out how newcomer sites are becoming more aggressive in marketing their internet real estate. These sites are ready to pay people for using their services. The newcomer that I am about to introduce to you is no different, only the payment strategy is what makes it interesting.
Ximmy is a social voting site much similar to Digg. The only difference between the two is that Ximmy is willing to pay its users for submitting a story and for leaving a comment. Here is how it works:
We are the first company to reward you for your contributions to our community through points that you can redeem for cash. Just register for an account. (It’s free!) You will earn points for submitting stories and posting comments. When your story is published to the home page, you will receive 15 points. Once you hit a points bracket, you can redeem the points for cash at any time. Payments are made via PayPal.
Points Earn:
1 point – Story Submitted
1 point – Comment
15 points – Popular (homepage)
| Points | Rewards |
| 1,000 | $10 |
| 1,800 | $20 |
| 3,200 | $40 |
| 6,000 | $80 |
| 12,000 | $160 |
| 20,000 | $300 |
The real question here is will Ximmy steal the hearts of Digg and Reddit users? I think that Ximmy (and other sites like this that will follow its footsteps) will get a fair market share in the internet biz. If this becomes successful, will the giants like Digg and Reddit follow the trend? As I have said before, if this kind of marketing strategy continues, there will be a lot of happy users earning a little cash while enjoying a free service.
