About Welshare:

Welshare is a sharing platform, and as such is similar to other services like hootsuite, friendfeed, postling, favit, tweetdeck, etc. But as 37signals write “build software for yourself”. And none of these services offered exactly what I wanted, so I had to roll out my own. Here are some of the features:

– Aggregating your twitter and facebook streams in addition to the internal stream – that’s an incentive to actually start using it – you will be seeing all your streams from a single place;
– Unified like button – “like” means “I like this, and I want my friends to know about that”;
– Search – search the whole site, your stream or your own messages;
– Social reputation – simple, mechanical formula for measuring social reputation. Providing rankings based on city and country;
– Friends and followers – if you are a friend with someone, add them as friend. If you are just interested in their “stuff” – follow them;
– Notifications – you get notified on events from welshare, facebook and twitter, with a unified interface;
– Viral graph when url shortening – each user in the viral graph can track his contribution to spreading the link.
