Approach
Our philosophy is that there is no good hassle-free solution yet to the contact management problem. We aim to link all currently disconnected address books to each other. A change in one of these address books will result in a change in all your connected devices.
Real friends, real network
Who do you call for a real beer? Who do you play real poker with? Usually your most important social network is the one recorded in your mobile phone. This network is our first life, these are our real friends. Soocial provides a synchronization tool to grease your first-life social network.
Not a social network
Soocial is not a social networking site. It is a solution to easily combine and manage the many places where you store your important contact data. Current solutions are cumbersome, limited or just too 'techy'. Soocial aims to offer a hassle-free solution to your contact management.
Private beta
Soocial is being released in phases and is currently in private beta. We have been releasing invites over the last few months to users helping us debug our system and improve quality and stability. Signup to receive an invite on our homepage. We will be handing out our existing users invites in the next few weeks.
Your data is your data
Soocial believes in open data, that means that you can access all data within Soocial via an API. We provide an secure way to access your data that third parties can use. We also guarantee the destruction of your personal data when you decide to leave us and remove your account.
Plays well with others
One of the ideas behind Soocial is to plug into existing software, not re-create software for each connected device. This means you can use your existing software in the same way as you already are. The difference is that with Soocial you have your contacts stored elsewhere available to use. For example on your phone you use the same address book interface you already use, not a separate one. Soocial plugs into the underlying contacts data and keeps that updated.
A word of caution
Because Soocial is still a beta product, we are working behind the scenes to improve the quality of existing features and still have many features in store. Please be patient during the beta since things will probably be wonky as we fix bugs and try a couple of different features and interface changes.
