New Social Networking Tool: Better Than Facebook

German company promises to let users “use Facebook without being used”

November 25, 2010 – WANT to share something on all your social networks at once? Yiid is a new social networking tool that promises simultaneous cross-site sharing of pictures, links, videos, and more. By integrating the Yiid like or dislike button into their pages, site owners can allow users to share their content to all their peers at once.

Yiid offers multiple advantages over Facebook to both site owners and end users. Yiid is not tied to Facebook, and supports multiple social networks with a simple unobtrusive one-time authorization. For site owners, the Yiid like button allows valuable insight to be gained regarding demographics visiting pages, how and where traffic is coming from, and a powerful ability to communicate with targeted sections of the user base.

But Yiid is not just focused on site owners and tracking. Yiid offers many advantages over Facebook for the user too. Users can receive discounts, special offers, and other incentives for sharing certain links and products with their friends, and can create wishlists to share with friends and family, featuring products from multiple sites, instead of multiple wishlists for multiple online shopping sites. Yiid also allows users to purchase items from multiple online shops on one convenient checkout page.

The Yiid team has over 22 years of experience between them, including experience in building and selling social Internet communities, and contributing to open source web standards. CEO and founder of Yiid Marco Ripanti is also a speaker and author, with over ten years of experience in social networking.

The German internet service Your Internet ID launched the button with the thumb in April 2010. It enables internet users to disseminate with a click their consensus or dissent on certain contents in different social networks. Facebook and twitter are linked as well as LinkedIn and Google Buzz.
Your Internet ID, yiid.com is a project of ekaabo GmbH based in Weinheim. Investors are Marco Ripanti (CEO and founder) and Artus Capital GmbH & Co KGaA.
