Blogging Tips

MyWeboo is an interesting concept; it lets you manage your web files from various social networks all in one place. Plus, you get 1GB of storage for saving and backing up those files. It currently works with Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, Flickr, Photobucket, Picasa, Delicious, Wretch, Amazon S3 and Your PC (Windows). You get to connect your accounts and create “drives” for each one. You can also download a PC connector that lets you easily transfer files from your PC to your computer.

Once you create your drives you can click on each one to see all of the current files (images and videos) already associated with it. The default view is album view, but you can click on each item to enlarge it and even edit it in some cases (not all sites support editing). Videos can be viewed right from within the site and take up the whole viewing window; this is very nice if you have a large monitor.

Files can be downloaded, emailed and shared (with users from your MyWeboo contact list). You can also create a public link for sharing your items online. You will be able to create new folders and upload items to your social networks right from MyWeboo. You can even go a step further and configure your email accounts (Gmail or AOL) so that you can send and receive right from the site. The downside to this is that it only supports POP3 usage and not IMAP.

MyWeboo is also great for managing your bookmarks. You can create folders right on the site and add bookmarks by search or URL. You’ll be able to enter additional info about your bookmark – title, description/comment and even a username and password and it will remember it for you. You can reorder bookmarks (move up or down), edit them and delete them.

If you connect your Delicious account, your bookmarks will be imported from there as well. The tags that you use on Delicious serve as folders on MyWeboo. Clicking on the tags/folders will show you the bookmarks associated with that keyword/phrase. If you used more than one tag on a website, this could be a problem since you will have the bookmark listed under many different folders. You can also add bookmarks to Delicious directly from MyWeboo.

You’ll get a profile page and URL that you can share with friends. You can choose which activities are public and which are private. The timeline on your profile will show others what images and videos you’ve uploaded, what videos you’ve added to your favorites on YouTube and even your status messages (if set to public on the actual sites).

Is MyWeboo worth your time? I say definitely if you’re someone who does a lot of image and video uploading. It can be a time saver and also helps you to more easily organize your files.
