Iminta - New Way Of Sharing What You Are Inta'

Welcome to the new way of sharing online with your friends "what you are inta" - iminta.com

Still on a closed beta, iminta has already attracted a lot of interest even before the site opened up to general public and got some really good reviews from blogs like WIRED, Mashable, Webware and TechCrunch. Unlike most startups, iminta is not funded but rather bootstrapped from the beginning by ex-CNET product manager, Aaron Newton.

So what is this iminta.com all about? Well in very simple words, it's a new type of social network to which you tell the services you already have accounts with, e.g. Flickr, Youtube, delicious etc. and iminta would create a master list of everything you are up to on those sites. Your friends can then subscribe to your master feed and stay updated about your activities. Of course, you can do the same with them too.

The UI is pretty simple and contains loads of AJAX working to enable it's users to look around even when functions are being performed in the back-end. To start with, you can simply click on the 'add an inta' button and enter what you are into for the day. Everything you enter will be added to the master feed and any of your friends who have subscribed to your master feed will see it.

Once you are done with adding you own intas for the day, you can definitely check out what your friends are upto. Simply clicking on the 'What your pals are inta' tab would show you a master feed of what your friends plan to do or are already into. You can even select a single friend from your list and clicking on his/her feed or avatar would take you to his/her page. Here you will get all the intas he/she has been.

Not only that, you can even check out what your friend's friends are into. All you have to do is click on your friend's pals tab and there you go. Hey maybe you can find someone sharing same interests as you do, some new friends maybe.

There are already some similar services at FriendFeed, Spokeo, Readr and a few more. But the cool interface, simplicity of usage and rich user experience that I came across while taking a sneak peek during my beta-testing of the site makes me believe that this is one startup that's different and definitely here to stay. So keep your eyes open and be sure to join as soon as it launches.
